Severe Storm Force 11 once every 2 or 3 years can be quite exciting. But for the 3rd...4th...5th time in one winter? It is getting boring now.

Well of course the government should do something! The burghers of Surrey voted for them - they expect them to look after them :)

The perfect pithy summing up!
