Aren't you meant to have poo in your bottom... I'd see the doctor if I was you.
Just driven down M53/M56 I was glad of the tonne of stone on the back, it kept me pinned down against the wind. 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper |

165mph must be some kind of record?!
Surely damage must be extensive? The 87 hurricanes never got that strong and they utterly flattened the South of the UK! Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion. |

I believe the fastest ever low-level wind in the UK was recorded by the radar station on the northern coast of Unst (northernmost island of Shetland) at 180mph, shortly before the whole thing was blown into the sea

'twas October then mate and the trees still held some leaf... Scotland being mainly coniferous should far much better. |
