They Lied !!!

Both my ex and my current OH slept through the 87 hurricane! I don't half pick em!

Are you telling us that you were with both of them???

My son was born on 18th october 1987 at 10 pm guess where I was.

My niece was born the night of the storm, always handy in a pub quiz as I can remember the date. Mind you, it always makes me laugh when people go on about it like it's the worst night ever for everybody, it only affected part of the country but as always when London is affected it's a much bigger issue. Funnily enough it wasn't even that breezy where I was but if you'd watched the news you'd never have known.

The night of the big storm back in '87 I was at a conference at the Gatwick Hilton, me and a bunch of lads sat up drinking 'til about 5AM, but thanks to the triple glazing we never noticed a thing. After about 3 hours kip woke up a bit after 8 to find the hotel had no electricity and looking out of the window in my room there was a police van parked across the road. Everyone checking out that morning with no electric was an absolute nightmare. Ah, those were the days.
