Storm Brian flying trampoline watch.

My sister bought one for her son when he was in the British Freestyle ski team so that he could practice his twists and turns. It attracted a lot of squealing teenagers and there was a big falling out with all her neighbours.

I can't find the storm Brian thread. Does anyone know where it is?

We have plenty of warnings so why on earth does this happen? Do people not have somewhere to store them?

[QUOTE 5008005, member: 9609"]I doubt a Deltic would even have to slow down for that, the modern made stuff out of cardboard and cling-film is clearly just not up to the job[/QUOTE]
A class 800 would make mince meat out of it.

OTOH if you wanted a trampoline it would be an ideal time to nick one. Owners wouldn't be sure if it blew away or was nicked, and would probably keep quiet in case it had blown away and ended up, for example, on train lines.

Mrs Gti's cloche keeps getting blown away too.

A few years ago during a storm, we had been out as a concert. Opened the front door and it took a few puzzled seconds to realise the storm appeared to be inside the house too. We had a flat roofed extension to the main hall/dining room and the skylight - about 1.5 metres square - had completely blown away!
Cue ladders etc and nailing a piece of wood over the hole at 11.30 at night in the middle of a storm.
We searched the neighbourhood the next day and never found it!
