 The Great Storm 1987 - Bromptonaut
Where were you?

Mrs B and I were living on a busy street in Watford. Woke up about 02:30 to bins, signs and bits of fences blowing about the street. An hour later roof tiles were going rattle, rattle crash to the ground. Thought they were ours but actually next door which still had original slates rather then concrete pantiles. Tried to get into work but no trains so, in accordance with then instructions reported at local County Court - spent the morning filing warrants.

By 12:00 trains were running so went into London. Trees down, hoardings over roads etc but got to ofice by 14:00. Worked for an hour or so before some guy appeared an told me to go home. Never seen him B4 in my life but turned out he was what in today's parlance we'd call the deputy chief executive!!

So I walked back to Euston and got train home.
