AFAIK, manchester has been around since roman times. As for the weather, you could have a point. When it isn't raining, its scorching hot!

There was lightning directly overhead, so I had to disconnect for a bit until it ran its' course.

@Vincent

Some of these were literally directly overhead - not even a fraction of a second from the flash to the thunderclap. Loud enough to make your bones rattle!

Well, its at it again!

We just had an INSANE downpour that turned into 2cm hailstones half way through!

Now we seem to be having a nice forked lighting thunderstorm :-) looks a bit further north now but its certainly frequent!

It's payback for all those viking hordes that raped, pillaged and got spelks/spinks/skelfs in their fingers in the process occasionally :lol:
