I'm just back from Morrisons and what I've seen is mind boggling, the place is out the door with people so much infact folk were practically queing to get in, whole families and I'm talking about two parents and three children with shopping trollies each packed to the ******* rafters with food.
Is there any need for it?
Don't suppose it occured to you that this is quite normal just before Christmas

But why?
in ye'olden days maybe , but we live in a world where 24hour supermarkets exist and they only close for one day ffs. I'm sure people can manage for one day

So this is a weather related phenomenon not people buying their Christmas groceries they way they have for the last 50 years?
Well I seen a whole new level today one of the big tesco extra stores by me had people queuing for trolleys! I feckin kid you not! WTF is that about never ever have I seen that
I'm selling eggs like you wouldn't believe. My private customers can't get enough of them. I seriously do not understand why the whole country goes mad at Christmas? Is it just more of a habit thing these days?

Easter eggs? Nothing like a bit of forward planning
Since the BBC has taken to having a papers section on the front of the news page I have noticed that every other day the Express leads with some ludicrous headine about the weather
Headlines such as (not exact quotes, but in the same style):
'Philippines style hurricane to hit Britiain'
'Arctic storms set to paralyse Britain'
'Twelve days of Christmas weather hell'
'100mph storm set to cause Christmas chaos'
I detest the likes of the DM, but this is not even news. It's pure made up sh1te and I don't even really blame the paper as it's the absolute cretins who buy it that need a good slap. How stupid do you have to be to want to pay money to read crap like that day in day out? FFS!!!!
They and The Daily Mail seem to be trying to out storm each other.
It gets better just heard on the news the met office are gonna start doing weather reports on potential storms in space
They can't predict the weather correctly here

Care full, there's a few people quite defensive of the Met office on here, personally I think they are a waste of time given how much they are given by the Government.

Let's say they do predict correctly and the press report correctly
What on earth are we gonna do if some hurricane strikes
Or we get the big freeze minus 20 ,
They say be prepared , yep I'm prepared to turn the heating up if it's cold and must remember not to nip out in a t shirt
As for the hurricane all I can think is remember not to nip to the shops in my high sided vehicle ,

It's wild down here; very high tides, massive swell (watching it from bed after throwing up all night!), hail, thunder, storm force winds. The Atlantic is doing a fine impression of Armageddon!

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying we aren't having some bad weather, but it's Winter so no massive surprise and I have no idea why a) The Express makes it front page news every other day and b) why they always say it will last for months or weeks and make it sound like Hurricane Katrinia is coming!
The law of averages, given Winter in the UK, is at some point we will get some wind and flooding..... they just predict it every other day from October till March
never ever have I seen that
