oldypigeonpopper Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago (edited) Hello, This was aired on News Watch recently, Some viewers asked the same question ?? Seem BBC reporters are immune from Storm Damage, Over the last few years the BBC have become very complacent in news broadcasting , Much like the TXT alert sent to millions of UK residents on the Storm when it was forecast for Northern Ireland and Scotland Edited 16 hours ago by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12gauge82 Posted 16 hours ago Report Share Posted 16 hours ago I think this stuff is geared towards the lowest denominator. If you've got common sense, stay away from trees and don't go somewhere you can get swept away by the sea, you should be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millrace Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago This is the covid power over the people hangover, everywhere is shut in n.ireland, tescos sainsburys filling stations everything! My village shop is closed even tho the staff live in the village and walk 200yds to get to it!! We have constant alerts to our phones, its a ruddy storm we get it,but now this government has to tell you what you can and cannot do ( allowed) they have been very "crafty" they have announced it in such a way that your insurance providers are entitled to deny your policy if your driving today, we cant stop you but your not insured if you do! Shower of ####! But hey, im at work by the coast its blowing and peeing it down,why? Cause i work for myself dont do social media so no need to bow to peer pressure and nobody pays me to sit at home!!!! Oh and as a bonus my power is out at home but not where im working!!...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B686 Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago (edited) Sadly common sense isn’t something everyone has . I did a nights fishing a few years ago on a day ticket near me during a bad storm there was a swim I wanted to fish but chose not to because of a large tree that looked a bit dodgy. So I fished the opposite side of the lake in a safe spot. A couple of hours later a couple of people turned up and one of them set up in the swim with the tree in it , right underneath it . A few hours later the tree blew over and I saw it go I thought **** he’s splattered. Luckily for him he had just got out a couple of minutes before to get a bacon sandwich. Reckon his mate and bacon sandwich saved his life . Edited 13 hours ago by B686 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted 11 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Just got back from town. Had planned to give the ferret a run out but decided against it. Dropped in at farm for a coffee and mate and me were almost blown over by a gust while we tried to shut a gate! Lots of trees down and one over a carriageway outside town, and a huge limb in the middle of the road on the edge of town. Thankfully no one was under it at the time. Anyhow, had lunch with son then dropped in at the gallery. Hope our luck holds for no outages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
