High Winds? Eh?

I can't believe the chaos that is being caused by these horrid high winds down in Englandshire. I mean, 40mph? That's outrageous!
(Force 7 on the Beaufort scale. Nowhere near 'Hurricane' level, but there you go.)

For blinking f*ck's sake, in the North of Scotland we often get high winds. Most days in fact.

(The trees up here don't grow very tall, and if they do then they grow sideways! That's if they survive long enough!)

At least twice a year we put up with winds of up to 100mph, and you don't hear us whinging on about fallen trees, power lines and tumbling walls.

Honestly, a lot of fuss about a few tiny gusts of wind?

No wonder some people call them 'soft southerners'.
