Chainsaws at the ready....Doris coming

[Nightwatch]

That's nice, a pigeon telling you how fast you're going....

i was thinking of a way to say just that.

[matty40s]

Well that was fun wasn't it.

Tree came down at Barrow Boating , couple of boats further up the river looked in danger of breaking free but i think Doris has chilled out now.

Beats me. Took me about 5 minutes to work out how to log on.

No need to scroll to the bottom. Just click on "Unread Content" near the top right

Wandered out in Brighton about 1500 hrs,just got home, saw 1 scooter blown over plus loads of twigs on pavements.

[tree monkey]

Well that was an exciting day, lots of seriously big trees down, loads of closed roads and as a bonus I am not in work tomorrow so someone else can sort the remaining mess out

That didn't exist when I made the above post. Neither did the login button - there was nothing top right.

No idea either - the search bar near the top returns hardly any results.  I ended up doing the google search thingy (type into google what you are looking for followed by site:canalworld.net/forums and then click on tools to limit the search to the last 24 hours or whatever you want).  That's how I found this post

Rich has posted a couple of times that with the database being so huge it'll probably take until mid weekend before the indexing is complete. It was at twenty something percent this morning I believe. 

Until that's complete the search facility will be limited.

Until the indexing is complete the search function will not work properly - just give it a few days.  If you know what you are looking for you might be able to find it by browsing the forums.

Surprised by the number of closure notices for fallen trees, just received one stating over 40 trees down in West Midlands waterways.

I'm not supprised at all, considering what I saw yesterday

[mross]

was probably due to the wind.................................

I had an auntie Doris. She couldn't suppress it either. All she eat was home made cabbage soup.

I saw that one as well. CRT said they were too numerous to mention. I thought that was sheer laziness on their part as this is important information for people wanting to move over the weekend.

 

Surely they could have put a simple list into the one email. Probably would not even have had to type it out as they must already have a list for internal use which they could have exported, or copied and pasted, into the email.

Doris and Boris went down to bathe

Doris blew off and blew Boris away.
