Half hour on southend beach before the apocalypse

Post by moxi69 »

Got down there at 2100 just in time for a spectacular lightning and thunder storm, over the Kent side started, managed £3:82, a thrupny bit and a very heavy 925 silver ring of a sheep or goats head, then the wind came on like someone had flicked a wind switch and it was time to beat a hasty retreat. Will get back to clean it up when it's safer

If a man is in the middle of the forest and he expresses his opinion and no one is there to hear him is he still wrong?

I think whether your detector worked or not after that would be the least of your worries! :D

I grabbed an electric fence while holding a detector (euroace) and that gave me a fright ... still worked ok...think a lightning bolt might do a bit more damge... :> my nephew peed on an electric fence when me and his dad had him fishing.... screaming banshee wouldnt have a look in for the howl he let out...oooyah.... :D
