The wind is horrific!

Just moved the Freelander to a safer parking place as a lamppost is wobbling alarmingly in the wind!
Cannot put it on the drive, as the caravan is there serving as a hospital recuperation room fo Lizzie!

Take care all! 1998 300TDi Auto Disco, never to be forgotten.

Lamp posts are designed to wobble in the wind, is only when they are rotted around the base from all the continuous dog pee it becomes a problem,

The said Lampost is at least 30 years old, and is made of metal! It was there when we moved in!
I moved as it is much safer away from it! 1998 300TDi Auto Disco, never to be forgotten.

I live about 500 metres from the sea and it's pretty windy but I have known it a lot worse. It's when you can taste the salt in the rain that you know it's really bad. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

If it's one of those with a waisted bit about 70cm from the ground where it goes to the thin long post, they have a habit of rotting inside, quite a few our way have come down in gales, they sheer the weld to the pole, perfect from the outside which is galvanised, rotten on the inside. Seems a good idea to move it, but the council will pay if you need a new model Very Happy my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Just made it home, two diversions as main roads blocked in both directions. BBC travel website is good if you need to go out, unfortunately I was not told until I got home!
