Bleedin rain couldn't have waited just 10 more minutes. No! 5 minutes from getting back into the nice warm office it pisses it down. Had to waste 20 minutes of MY OWN TIME drying all my soaked gear off

It was like being back in Hudds

Fond?

Doing Yews Hill and hiding on Thorn Road inbetween the back to backs whilst a river of sewage pours down towards Manny Road

Oh, those fond memories

I got caught in it today,and i tell you what ive never seen anything like it.It was really dark all morning so i made sure i took my waterproofs? with me,then about 11.45 it started to come down,thunder,lightning and rain like ive never seen before.I sheltered inside someones front door for about 30 mins untill it stoped,and then went on to finish my walk.Met a couple of the lads on the way back to the office,they were soaked to the bone and said the same never seen rain like that before.When i got back the mrs was in the office,she got trapped down stairs in the canteen,it all came up through the drains and has flooded all the basement of our office which includes the canteen,rest area,union room and all our lockers,she said at one point it was a foot deep

This is the 2nd time in a month this has happened,and looks like no canteen untill next week as no one could come round to clear it up.Looks like our DOM will be getting some stick in the morning

I was going to say "don't you buggers joke about Manchester's rain ever again" - but I'm told the really bad stuff will hit us tomorrow morning. It will be a case of "Harry Potter and the floating Amazon Packets"

Within 10 mins my boots were full they did not let the water out till I took them of at home and poured it out down the drain

Don't take any risks unless you see Leighton floating by - then try and get your foot on his head.

The south's monsoon season is on us, didn't it rain it's a**e off this morning! Sheltered for a while at last bag drop but looked like I would be there for a while so I pulled the pin and got it finished, don't mind the wet too much it's watching the mail turn back to pulp before your eyes, only 300 odd years and the waterproof pouch is not invented yet. RM shoes have a copy of the local paper stuffed in them will be making a rare appearance wearing trainers tomorrow.
