Slightly higher than normal winds have caused problems across England for several days, and are expected to peak at ‘a bit blowy’ later this evening.
On Saturday, a healthy breeze caused Ted Frampton to abandon his newspaper and throw it in the bin near a bus stop in frustration.
“It was impossible!” he explained, “every time I tried to open it up it blew inside out. I tried to straighten it up, but I was fighting a losing battle.”
“This global warming stuff is a real nightmare.”
Met Office wind warning

“Any kind of weather that is deviates even slightly from the norm is cause for extreme panic,” said a spokesperson
“We’ve already had reports of a fence going down on a street in Cirencester.”
“The fence crushed an ornament of a little man that would chop wood at a speed determined by the strength of the wind.”
“If you can’t see the tragedy of an ornament being crushed by something that should have given it life, well, you must have a cold black heart.”
