So wind turbines (which, we are assured, are the answer to every (green) maiden's payer) self-destruct if it gets too, er, windy? I bet that won't stop the things being plastered in their thousands across every upland AONB in Britain.

Proper windy today in the Midlands with gusts nearly into the 30's.

We had carrier bags blowing round the garden and next doors parasol threatened to blow over at one point - it was like World War 3, I could barely watch!

What a coincidence! Missus Sceptical said more or less the same thing when I showed her the 'blazing turbines' photo. But she added "... you dickhead" at the end of the sentence.

Kate, I can assure you that "endearment" is not how she'd term her epithets for me.
