A Drop of Rain
« on: September 24, 2012, 16:58:58 PM »
It has been a little damp down here in the West Country. They say the rain band is not coming North towards you folk who live the nether regions. It's a wonder there is any left after what it has dropped on us.

I hope so. The head groundsman has promised to deliver a trailer-load of the smaller ones for my woodburner.

Well I've been asked to go as a guest to Leeds V Everton tonight - Banqueting Suite no less!

What's the odds on a pitch inspection at lunchtime and it being called off?

1/10 is my guess :(

Apparently you Northerners are sending the rain back down to us. Couldn't you have emptied the damn clouds; we have had enough.

We got our share in the nether regions.  Which is where that damn wind was hitting today.
Leaves and branches everywhere....a right old mess.

Was in a marquee on the lawn at Harewood House yesterday with Frank Bruno! No heating and the wind was  howling, never been so cold or damp! Dont think us northeners have got away with anything! My newly built out-house is wet through too!
