to watch a football match or something else and get
soaked through?

I thought that was the midday sun - aren't we supposed to remember we are like ducks and enjoy the rain?
Having said that yesterday wasn't rain it was a torrent so I don't think even the mad dogs would have ventured out!

Yes, Went to St.Andrews and watched the 'Blues' whack Fulham!
Got soaked through getting to carpark (there and back) but it
was worth it...just for the three points. WOLVES...next week

Re: Weather Yesterday
You can send us some of that there wet you're having, please! (Only a little - don't want as much as the Lake District)
Some mistakes are too much fun
to only make once.

Re: Weather Yesterday
What area are you in a5baggie. Not been good here, River Tees burst its banks, but has flood defence near us. No where nearly as bad to the West of the country. 
Poor people and the policeman and his family, died trying to help others.

Re: Weather Yesterday
Its not stopped raining here all day! (Sunday)
Back garden flooded and the front roads under water.
Leak from the front room bay window and now one in the conservatory roof! 
My daughter did her paper round this morning in it and said most people probably couldnt read the papers because they were so wet!
Have you had it bad Peter?

Re: Weather Yesterday
The last hour it has eased off, just quick down pours at the moment.
The weather forecast classes us as Teesside, I think, never know where we are, Yorkshire or Durham!
It has been bad but the back garden has gone down a little from earlier. Where we live is nothing to do with the river Tees, we are higher from that, althougth it does affect us and the river Leven getting in and out.
Its just rained so much it has nowhere to go!
As i'm typing its got worse again
Do you have ducks there Peter? The ducks round here normally are in our garden but havent seen them for days. But they would have fun out the back!
Looking for a silver lining, havent had as many ciggies!
