Bloomin wether!.

Worth it for that result though Accy!!

2 wins and 1 draw will seal promotion for you.

Hopefully! I'm going to dig out my 8mm video cam tapes from the day we won our last promotion at Woking in 2006 and ask someone to put them on you tube for me,if that's possible. I filmed myself on the pitch during the celebrations. I think the fellow CCers would like to see me and pass judgement.

bloody train stops at Horsforth due to flooding and i have to pay £51 for an Uber back home.

I would've asked the driver for a receipt,hoping to claim the dosh back off British Rail.

I think the chances of British Rail being resurrected to pay a taxi fare are vanishingly small!

A few years ago a great aunt of mine was heading back to Oban when her train from Glasgow was cancelled due to a landslide damaging the railway track. The management at the station agreed to pay for a taxi for the alternative 97 mile journey by road.

I opened the thread expecting it to be about castrated male sheep. I imagined Classic33 running amok in here. Disappointed to find it was actually about weather.

There's more yet!

Currently a flood alert here in Bardney.

Woke this morning to a heavy fall of snow.
Snowed continuously for a few hours then started to turn to sleet, then rain. Been raining continuously since late morning.

Result = extremely wet snow.

Seriously fed up with the godawful weather now.

Same in this part of Yorkshire, yesterday, continual rain from arriving home at 09:45, to going to bed at 22:30
It only varied in the flow, not the time

Back to work today (10:00 - 18:00), & it's patchy blue skies, & drying up
Buggeration!

Think positive. At least the rain has washed the road salt away.

I've thought like that before,only to see the dreaded yellow lights flashing salting wagon doing the rounds again,due to a forecasted heavy frost. I think councils have to get rid of it before the new financial year. Otherwise the government will say "Oh you didn't use it all last year,so this year you aren't getting as much".

I cut the grass yesterday - just sayin'.

Attempted bike ride. This was the second one of these we had to turn back at. Heavens opened, came home soaked and only did 18 miles. Blazing sunshine now half an hour later.

I am reading a book about Reading's weather. According to it, April is one of the driest months of the year
Luckily the 1st was not too bad. I was able to complete the ale trail.

Just had thunder lightning and a mad hail shower.

We got away without any major flooding here. The river level was rising rapidly but peaked and then dropped down again.

The environment agency had made a very accurate prediction of what it would do. I have been watching the local monitor since the flood warning siren sounded last night and levels are exactly tracking the prediction.

I just nipped out to Hebden Bridge and back. There is a fairly strong wind blowing, but it is one of the mildest days in the last 6 months - LET'S HAVE MORE OF THESE DAYS PLEASE!

Ooh, hang on ... WHAT'S THAT!!

Looks like I got home with 30 minutes to spare! I didn't see any forecast for this storm ...

I know there's Egypt and Scotland down those parts, but Great Britain.
