No, I hate it 
, all started after the building I used to work in was hit by lightning twice in two days. Do you think if I ring Injury Lawyers4U I can sue the place I worked for putting me in a big blue metal building in a thunder storm?

Forecasters Warning
-- Thunderstorms --
Areas Affected: -Southern & South-east England, Midlands, Central & Eastern England -
Developments across parts of France this afternoon are likely to bring a high risk of imported thunderstorms with possible super cells embedded into parts of Southern England this afternoon.
Hail, heavy rain and strong gusty winds are likely in the paths of the storms with a low risk of tornadoes and water spouts along the South coast.
During this evening, the risk will spread North into Eastern England and later North-east England, however the primary risk is for Southern and South-east England.
This weather watch will be upgraded/updated during today as developments take place.

Not that bad where I was. It lasted an hour (12:15-01:15) but I only heard thunder roughly every 7 mins and it was always 8-10 seconds away.
I didn't see much lightening because I had the lights on, but the lines across the tv were a giveaway (yes I know watching tv was wrong).

Pretty spectular over the South Downs area
Perhaps in 50 years they will have found a way to harness all that energy - should run Britain for a few days?

Yep had a good hour of continual thunder and lightning. One clap of thunder would finish and the next one kicked off, the lightning was excellent and a lot of it forked horizontally for some reason instead of it going vertical. Watched it for a while, was good when several lightning strikes went off at the same time, the sky really lit up 
Edited just for Telboy's pedance!
