    That's what everyone says when i go to the canteen for lunch in my compression shorts. I keep trying to explain they're the only shorts i've got and that i'm not spending money on something less revealing for the sake of it. Long pockets, short arms you know how it is!

    A squall line came through Loughborough a bit before 2pm: a few minutes of absolutely torrential rain driven by vicious winds. I was indoors at the time. I don't know the exact speed at which it was moving across the country, but I imagine it may have crossed the Long Mynd an hour or two earlier; it would not have been nice to encounter that on top of the Mynd during the LMV race!

    I went for a walk a bit later in the afternoon. The bridleway up to the Outwoods had a fast-flowing stream down the middle of it, and the Woodbrook was in spate.

    Yes that hit here just north of Cov whilst I was in the shower, so about half 1.... probably the most torrential bit of weather I’ve seen in this country.

    Had a veritable monsoon about 1.00 whilst I was having lunch. We've just had another at 10.30 after some smaller but notable showers earlier.
    I'm taking the MTB for the morning commute. Storm debris and mud will no doubt abound...

    Yes, that would have been the same feature that later passed Travs and myself. So would have gone over the Long Mynd about 12:00.
