2-0, LRB, Richard, I'm only just heard the net article, I've only just come in the shack actually. It's just coming to 8.30 over here at the end. And as usual it's raining. It's the UK, well what on earth do I expect? But apparently we're having a storm tomorrow and it's significant because it has a name. I forgot what the name is now but there's a weather warning for my area for heavy rain and localised flooding. Yeah, that's K5. But it really affects me. I'm high enough above all the river levels and all the rest of it. I'm kind of at the bottom of the big deep slope but it's not an issue for me to build up the area. We've got plenty of bird drains and plenty of gravity. Well not quite at the bottom. So yeah, I was looking earlier to see if there were any self-driving cars. Oh God no. Oh dear, it's probably not being a passenger when somebody else is driving. Oh dear, I've been saving my own motorbikes for well over a decade. Only one still acting on the particular motorbike. I hated it, it's like I'm not in my control. Oh dear, watch out for that twig in the road. Slow down. I make a terrible, terrible backseat driver. The thought of having a machine in charge. Oh dear, that's even worse. I'm kind of having another person in charge. But a machine? Oh no, no, no, no. Definitely not. Call me a lug-eyed if you want to but yeah, there are certain things that we are meant to do and that's being in charge of driving, in control of driving and riding and that sort of thing. But yeah, it's just a personal, point of view. I was kind of remembering the fact that my machine was driving somewhere and I kept going to press the brake and I was the passenger and all I got was a loud thump from the floor. And it's definitely, it's driving a guy who looks constantly mixed. Your brakes are not working. He wasn't driving fast because he was not being in control. I mean that's the other thing actually, because I spent most of my time as a service engineer driving around the country on my own. I used to find having a passenger was an absolute distraction. You know, it's one of those things where the radio was just to shut the passenger off and suddenly I forgot to say it just quietly. I'm driving. Oh dear, dear, dear, dear. Yes, so I went completely destroyed by my cues off the radio. I think it's probably time for me to shut up. I'm here in the shot and I keep hearing the talk of kittens and cats and dogs and things and not to mention squirrels and things. I think it's a bit of a test and I think, nah, I've got the easy life. I can do what I want when I want. I don't have to worry about any other creatures, cats, kittens, dogs, boys, anything like that. I just enjoy being so lonely. It's great. Go with the likes, do what the likes, spend what the likes. Having said that, there is no, how can I put this, no simple issue about what I do and when I do it and how much I spend, which is probably not good. I probably should be supervised to a certain extent. Or at least just open up all this, remind you to think twice sometimes. Anyway, that's the rambling report from the Shire. Hopefully the weather's a little bit better over in Seattle. So back to you Jack and waving a hand to all the guys on the net. From the net, I was going to say, from the Worcestershire. Well, he's wet and miserable, Worcestershire. So back to that control, back to you Jack, from the L.L.P. Worcestershire. Alright Les, hey don't stray too far from the station there because I've got something to tell you. This year, I heard you say this storm may not affect you, but I might want to let you know that storm Benjamin, which is rolling in tonight and tomorrow, will bring gales and heavy rain which will impact southern and eastern England, including the Redwich area. So I know you said you're a little bit higher up. I know you've got backup batteries and all the good stuff to have in case your power goes out, but I would imagine with a storm that they named back there, I would imagine that you could have power outages, even though being a little higher up. Has that happened in the past?
