aah-ahhh! [strokes his hand] You have a woman’s hand, milord!
I’ll wager these dainty pinkies never weighed anchor
in a storm.ha ha. -Aah! Your skin milord. I’ll wager it ne’er
felt the lash of a cat [‘o’ nine tails], been rubbed
with salt, and then flayed off by a pirate chief to make
fine stockings for his best cabin boy.
Aah! You have a woman’s purse! [takes it from him and
examines it daintily] I’ll wager that purse has never been
used as a rowing-boat. I’ll wager it’s never had sixteen
shipwrecked mariners tossing in it.

Looks like the m60 is shut between junctions 10 and 11 both ways, truck over turned on Barton bridge. Going to be some jams round there now I bet for rush hour.

I'd advise anyone who can to batten down the hatches and stay put until this abates.

Twice I nearly got blown off my feet just then in Piccadilly Gardens. Luckily my Greggs breakfast is still intact!

B) When does one storm finish and the other begin.

I'm curious.
