a tea-towel would probably have anything under 16ft planing right now - least that's what it looks like out the office window!

Down the Club during the week, very hairy. A house adjacent to the club has recently been sold for 400k, the "Sold" sign still flapping in the wind........Monday the beach lost 30 yards of shingle and the house front patio had been undermined. The householder hired the biggest dozer he could find and spent all day weds pushing shingle around, he then regained 10 yards. Thursday he lost a third of that. I reckon he's got about a year and no sleep at high tide.
