Storm 'Doris'

[PeteXXX]

I think it's Doris Day here tomorrow.. Not sure what time though...

 

[Salad Dodger]

Well, if it's Doris Day, then Que Sera Sera, whatever will be, will be........

 

[Drago]

"Doris" used to be - perhaps still is in some circles - derogatory police slang used to describe any female who may be a source of annoyance.

I'm thinking of booking a days holiday tomorrow, then getting out on the bike to set a new record time to York aided by an 80mph tail wind.

I'd be coming back on the train, obviously...

Bring it on.
Britain's idea of a storm is when someone's umbrella gets blown inside out .
Which then gets featured in Britain's Worst Weather

Agree with that, Last one we had I think my green wheelie bin moved about 7 cm down my drive. Horrific.

I just saw tomorrow's forecast for London.

It's safe to say I won't be cycling to work tomorrow.

I hope the transport isn't affected too much because there is some stuff particularly close to my heart that I need to do tomorrow.

(Too many "tomorrows", apologies)

7 cm !!!
I think we can thank our lucky stars that your green wheelie bin falling on flowers was avoided.

Plans abandoned - boss wouldn't let me have the day off.

Shame, as it's just over 15 miles to central York from my door, so allowing for time to get up to the main road and slowing down for the roundabout at Bramham crossroads, I reckon I could have done it in around 15 minutes with most of it cruising at a steady 80mph...

I'll be riding in. My forecast headwind at home time is 55mph. I may get Mrs Dave to pick me up. I'm not worried about the effort of cycling or the other traffic, it's the trees potentially dropping on my head that worries me!

 

[Inertia]

Am I the only one mad enough to brave it tomorrow? Every time I cry off because of threatened weather its always never as bad as they say.

 

[Hedgemonkey]

Mind you, all public transport will have been cancelled and motorists will have been advised on Radio 2 not to make any journey's ( commuting ), so apart from a bit of wind I'm looking forward to my ride into work in the morning on quieter and safer roads. ;-)

 

[PeteXXX]

I have to walk, with MrsPete, to vote in our local referendum.. I hope we don't get blown there.. or back, depending on which way Doris turns up!

 

[craigwend]

Arrives here about 4pm then leaves about 6pm - just a short visit , is it Queen Doris ?
