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?

Same thing at the end of the day really, no need to panic buy considering these supermarkets are practically open all the time nowadays.

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!!!!

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.

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 ,

Today's Express front page:
"Month of storms to batter Britain"
"Weeks of flood misery in store, warn forecasters"
Strange that I can find no forecasters saying that

I'm certainly bored with horizontal salt spewn rain, with the odd sunny afternoon interlude.
Bring on -15 daily temperatures for a while, if that's the alternative

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!

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
