I think he left the Tibbs Fantasy Football league last night too with only 4 match weeks left of the season, and he was one of only three with a chance of winning

Amber T-Storm warning for Friday into sat

Further detail
Thunderstorms are likely across parts of eastern and southeastern England from Friday evening through to the early hours of Saturday.

Although many places within the warning area may see limited impacts, torrential downpours could bring 30-50mm of rain, with a chance of even greater accumulations in a few places. With much of the rain falling in a short space of time this brings the risk of surface water flooding.

Large hail, strong and gusty winds, perhaps in excess of 40-50 mph for a short period of time, and frequent lightning will be additional hazards though again many places will not see this

a line from say Brighton up thru Chelmsford and up past Norwich - everything East of that is in the firing line (all of Kent for example)

I needed to go to the village shop, thought I'd walk the dog at the same time. I opened the back of the car and he looked at me as if to say "are you out of your mind, woman?" and went and laid in the shade. That's how warm it is... when the dog thinks it's too hot for walks.

Storm started here right on cue last night. Felt like it was right over us.
