We have already had the snow, now we have had 100 mph winds all through last night & well into this morning.
Stockport’s outdoor market did not open today for fear the stalls might all just fly away.
(Touch wood, fingers crossed & whisper) we have not had any power cuts. Perhaps the E.ON alliance is bearing the fruit of greater reliability of supply.
On a brighter note one of the larger empty shops has been taken over for the sale of Christmas decorations, so the economy cannot be as dire (yet) as everybody fears.
