Any one else been out this driving rain and windy evening?

Nothing down here (mind you, my phone is switched off!)

[Dean Lofthouse]

My house got a battering last night from the winds, mind you, it is called "Windy Ridge"

 

I normally get call outs the day after. But my phone is going to be not answered, xmas pee ups are far more important

How come the police called you out?

I thought the council did that sort of things.I understand it was out of hours, i didn't know the police had tree surgeons numbers.:confused1:

I work for the LA and they have a call out system with highways the police and fire brigade and they all have our contact details

When i lived with my parents my mum always nearly fainted when the phone went in the middle of the night and they said this is west yorkshire police could i speak to your son

We're on call from the 19th to the 5th, no calls yet but I have been out at 1am on christmas day before and stayed sober on new years eve because it blowing a gale all night and whats worse is I didn't even get a single call.

about 9 years ago we were actually moving into new house on christmas eve so did not go out on the lash

at 6pm just as we finished unloading i got called out till 5 am then back out at 8am till 4pm just sat down for my tea and went out again till late then similar on boxing day

was not a good one could not get anyone to help all too drunk so just had my office boss who did not use a saw

Got a police escort most of the time

Have missed 3 christmas dinners in the past

I once remember waking up a posh house at 3 am christmas morning to tell them to move there cars that had not been squashed (range rover had) and all the kids were on the landing balcony and my boss went HO HO HO

still makes me smile
