We've had some big thunderstorms in the South East. One bolt must have been right above our house as there was no delay between flash and thunder. Rattled the windows, and the cats are still behind the sofa.

We've had one like that, sounded like a missile hitting the road outside! Seriously, not a rumble of thunder, more like a big bang!

Austin laughed hysterically!

Just one question, when did you last hear a missile hitting the road outside?

by **RLN** » Tue Jun 28, 2011 6:44 pm

All the time. Apparently, we are at war with the Venusians.

Do Specsavers do blinds?

by **Xplumberlives** » Tue Jun 28, 2011 7:05 pm

No but the Venetians do!

You haven't met the wife yet, have you mate? :-o

Edit to add. We have had NO thunder today

I love a good storm :((

Bum - missed that one. Anyway, I know what Gaz means. Sophie and David (son no.2) both leapt to their feet. According to Phillip (son no.1) the lightning hit the Post Office in town.

Not surprising really. Royal Mail has been forked for a while now

Scary but probably not as scary as for those sitting in the control tower at Gatwick yesterday!

that would be a propper brown trouser moment.
