Oh deary me, i’ve overstepped…Steady on brother, bit strong that wouldnt you say?
Whatever mateOh deary me, i’ve overstepped…
The “twat” you used was referring to how scruffy they were. “Tight as fuck” was your term, I believe, for their lack of giving to “my fencing.”
So, to correct myself, what I should have said was “Who is the ‘tight as fuck’ one, old boy?”

I regularly look out the window, see the weather and dress accordingly. And then turn the corner of our street and get battered by the wind and horizontal rain. And that's not only in what is classed as a storm. Does it bother me? Not really. Would it affect my decision of taking my kids out in it (beyond what I can see through my window)? Yeah sometimes.The thing about looking out of your window is that it gives you an instant idea of the weather. If you need to know what it is tomorrow or in another location then weather forecasts are usually pretty sound.
Obviously if we get an extreme event like the storm at the beginning of the wizard of Oz, when houses are flying around the sky and witches are stealing dogs and flying around on push bikes then a mobile phone warning may be necessary.
OK, pal.Whatever mate
I think I've been pretty clear on the applicability of looking out the window. For a more thorough, long term, or geographically distant indication of the weather we have weather forecasts - met office, BBC etcI regularly look out the window, see the weather and dress accordingly.

The 'just look out the window'broadbrush in 90m winds is just fucking stupid. It ignores whole specteums of the population, lifestyles, travel modes, and differences in locations across the country.
Weather warnings don't mean go hide under the stairs. They help people decide whether to do things now or wait, whether to go out on the roads, whether to expect delays or cancellations on public transport, whether to take vulnerable people out. Or to make back-up arrangements. Or weather to work from home or not, or if working for narrow minded employers with outdated mindsets, it gives them a reasoned justification.
I went out in storm Bert and during a warning, and arranged the back-up of staying with a mate if I couldn't get back home, which happened as transport got gubbed, as just one of a whole range of examples.
Just look out the window, aye being an adult my arse.
Read that first line with ‘mate’ at the end instead of ‘pal’ and it doesn’t sound nearly as threatening.
Canadian?Ok buddy.
Just got the power back. Fourteen and a half hours living back in Baguely.
