Bloody storm has ripped a lot of ridge tiles from my roof, insurance company says " obtain the services of a roofing contractor ".
Looking at houses around me there is 9 that require the same service. Looks like I will get one first week in June.
They will be as rare as rocking horse sh*t.

Poor you. I remember a similar response after the hurricane all those years ago, from our insurance company. Are they taking the p*ss? Cowboys popped up all over the bloomin' place. Bon courage, like what they say 'ere.

Brian was lucky not to need a bodyshop for his car. One ridge tile nearly did some damage. I live opposite to Brian, I am just waiting for my roof to follow.

4 pantiles gone from the roof of one of my outbuildings. House roof looks good so far. I've just come back in the house after some running repairs to the greenhouse  |

The power went off down here in darkest Norwich for several hours at lunchtime. Gave me a welcome break from my thesis or as I'm now calling it the document of doom.

Things are pretty bad here in Holland now. Storms are bringing the country to a halt. The owner of this car from Amsterdam isn't going anywhere today |

I was hoping several big trees would fall into the lane while I was in the pub at lunchtime thus blocking the route back to the office but it didn't happen.  |

It took me 35 minutes to get from Ridderkerk to Zoetermeer, which is normally a 1,5 hours drive at 1700. But with motorways completely blocked (one from the south, and one from the west) it was an easy drive, as I used those roads just after the point where the blockades where  |
