@ Woodspeckie: Yes, I have seen it before - most of the tourists believe brochures...

Woodspeckie - Spain? It sounds as if they thought they were going to Barbados

We were in The TRNC last week in sandals and shorts. Compared to the UK now it was paradise. We overlook the Thames and a tornado has just ripped off my roof. Honest, a tornado. Another resident also saw and experienced it. The Police, Fire Chief and Highway patrol are outside now making safe the roof debris and at last it's stopped raining; the clouds have blown away and left a wonderful blue sky.

Same here in Wiltshire, didn't have a tornado but it was so noisy, you could not hear yourself talk!!! And the wind is sharp and cold!!!
