Am I watching Antiques Roadshow? Those clocks!

Those clocks….They would be considered old hat in a 1950s’ mortician’s waiting room.

Feltham? Very probably – as he is doing his intro.

I saw the intro. This one was very different to what he usually does. The upbeat music was replaced with a more laid back theme.

No issues in London. Pouring with rain first thing this morning but stopped now, just looks a bit grim out there. Glad all is well in Bristol

Dad has phoned numerous times, says it’s raining in Paris.

Got told I wouldn’t have eat where they eat last night, as It wasn’t English Food,

I think Peter is starting to look haggard. So much for collagen.

House about to blow away in Nottingham…Well…erm…

Just watched a Met Office Live Video on YouTube, they said in ways todays storm was worse than 1987

It's pretty bad here, not raining, but the wind is really strong.

IW Weather is dodgy, it alerts us when it’s going to hit freezing. But not when a storm hits

Just walked a large golden retriever on playing fields in Beeston. Near to being blown over. If only I could’ve had one of those wonderful plastic canes to help balance me.

Or you could have pressed the alarm,

Trees and fences coming down, cones flying about.

Hopefully nobody gets badly hurt - no doubt IW would see it as an opportunity to flog Emu Balm.

Afternoon all, hope everyone keeping okay in the strong winds. Just had to see those clocks so watched on the YouTube feed. Christ, they had hideous. Even my mum and dad who are 80 and 75 wouldn’t want those clocks. Talk about cheap and nasty. Pedro spouting about the palace of Versailles??? Spouting guff as usual. He does see a bit subdued though

It would’ve been bad enough if they were made of wood. At least you could chop them up to put on the fire. But from what I could see of them they look like they’re made of some sort of resin material. I remember a similar clock I took down to the tip when my mum died in 2007.

It will last 20 days, 25 ml a day and it’s 500 ml means 20 servings so says last you 20 - 30 days ??? Obviously maths not her strong point. Expensive as not even a full months supply.

I know what you mean. Nobody wants mahogany furniture any more, you can’t even give it away. Mum and Dad had a G-Plan mahogany dining table they couldn’t get rid of and Dad ended up turning it into a coffee table (gave him a project to do ) and then ended up at the tip

You wonder where they send old Charley looking for this shyte?
