Default Funnel cloud?

A thunder storm passed through Milton Keynes about an hour ago, and it
looked like a funnel cloud was forming. I'm no expert on these things,
so I took a video to see what others thought - the link is below.
Apologies for the quality, but my phone is 6 years old!

P.S. It doesn't look as exciting as the American funnel clouds in the
links on the right!

I'm no expert either, but I think you're right.

Good to know someone else thinks it might have been real. I've
completely rammed up the contrast from a picture I took, and you can
tell the structure slightly better: http://postimg.org/image/8jhc0p1v3.

It will count as the first one I've ever seen if real, which I think is
quite exciting! Now I just need to get the funds together for a
tornado hunting holiday in the US!
