    Seems to be an awful lot of trees snapping over....even in fairly mild conditions....noticed it yesterday how many sturdy ones were lying over..

    Fecking wiper blade day for me.When it rains I sell loads of em.Probably cos we fit them.Worse ones are on those Audi A4's 2005 onwards proper pigs to get off.If you see those Michelin Stealth wipers in a shop near you get them they are lovely wipers.Bosch and Valeo are shite compared to the Michelins.
    Lost two baseball caps and my jeans are soaked.:rolleyes:

    It's horrible here in Suffolk and the weather is not that good either ;)

    Not too bad atm, some high winds and rain but nothing exceptional.

    Been 4 weeks now without a single day where the roads have been dry. All the leaves here make the roads so greasy, I have been slipping and sliding in the car so definitely not taking the bike out until it's dry.

    Carl mate, you could never upset me (ya lazy get) I understand that its safer for everyone to ensure that management has a lovely view out of the window (gives 'em something to do and keeps them busy).

    Jez, thanks for the tip, mate (i just bought a pair of the fecking Bosch ones)

    David, it could have been worse. It could have been his jeans.

    20 year old rolls in at 5 this morning, been out in Camden with his mates, and had to do a taxi relay to get home as the drivers refused to go any further than the M25 ring.

    He said the last 10 miles were mainly through standing water at 10mph and avoiding trees and branches that had fallen.

    Has forgotten his keys, so woken to ringing doorbell :mad:

    Respect to the last cabbie, took him 10 miles for 20 quid...mad or good Samaritan, probably both.

    Asked him why he did not call me to come and get him, he stated that it looked iffy out there, kids eh!
