It's really picking up here now, the back gate is trying to make a break for freedom and the wheelie bin is doing laps round the garden.

Can commiserate with that I do on call to :( . How big is your on call region?

From Bristol up to Motherwell potentially, most of the "issues" happen in the warehouses around Sheffield/Doncaster/Leeds/Bradford.

Spent two hours at tea time dialled in rebooting third party switches to try and fix their RF

And I thought mine was bad, I'm only the north of England, mainly Leeds and Manchester. But do you have to go to site? If I'm called I got to go to site as the remote method has failed:mad:

The Cisco kit we have these days is pretty reliable, compared to the old Synoptics and HP stuff we rarely get any failures. RF going in everywhere in the last few years has kept us a bit busier, but like you most of it's doable from home though. If we get a bad one and a site has ground to a halt then we tend to go straight in and show face.

Bit windy again

I've just followed a couple of trucks down the A1 and they were nearly blown over a couple of times on the higher ground.

140mph on Ben Nevis I heard

The recycling bin has spewed it's contents all over the back garden which I'll have to tidy up when I get home tonight.

Hope everyone is okay, it looks like the east coast is in for some impressive weather, stay safe folks

On my way to the station this morning found this tree blown over.

No way to the station no work for me hurrah! Then some kind sole says they will give me a lift in :(

Had to clear some other fallen branches of the road on the way in as well.

Is that a bridge parapet in the background and the fallen tree a willow?

They don't seem very wind resistant; we had loads down around here recently. I guess it's because they stay in leaf and are thus big sails?

Blowing a hoolie here in the east. Had a branch come down on the car this morning. Luckily no damage just a little scratch. Just put my hatchet, saw and rope in the boot to help keep the roads clear. Usually end up clearing the way down some of Norfolks notorious back roads when the wind picks up

Yes and Yes.
Funny thing was I was joking with a friend saying I was going to trim the leaves/branches that hung over the pavement and where in the way for anyone over 5 ft, now I don't need to :)
