had them in Bedworth

 

[Otis]

Yep. Also got so dark that all my solar lights in the garden came on.

Was expecting little green Martians to parachute out of the sky at any minute!!

I even prayed to God, even though he doesn't exist.


Not sure he knows that mind, so best keep it to yourselves.

Hailstones in Coundon 10 minutes ago.

 

[Nick]

It looks like it has gone now.

 

[LastGarrison]

Don't know if it was hailstones as I was inside but it just absolutely lashed it down for a good couple of minutes and then just stopped again.

Randomly I'd just text my mate to see if he was playing football in the rain later and he said where he is he's grafting in what feels like 90 degree heat.

But then he is in Thailand.

Seriously though maybe they were onto something with all this Global Warming malarkey because this weather just ain't right.

Look to your sins, the night is dark and full of terrors.

Where's Telco?

 

[dutchman]

They were the size of golf balls in Eastern Green about 10 minutes ago.

And here's the proof:

 

[LastGarrison]

because their was a electrical fault or something which started a fire

My attempt at facetiousness failed.

Sorry, bored.

 

[dutchman]

someone said tesco was flooded with fire engines there

Correct.

It happened a couple of years ago as well so there is obviously something wrong with that roof.

Dear Liam

Nice story but you need to work on your punctuation and spelling. If you need any help with this, please see me after school. 6/10, must try harder.

 

[Otis]

And here's the proof:

Did you try and sell it on ebay?

 

[dutchman]

Did you try and sell it on ebay?

It's from the BBC News website but looks to me as if someone just squeezed a bunch of regular-sized hailstones together?

NB: The picture was taken in Wolvey rather than Eastern Green.

 

[Otis]

If it's the BBC it will be stock footage from 1973.
