About 2 years ago on a Wednesday evening about 5pm we had a thunder

This was in North Surrey by the way near Croydon and Sutton.

Does anybody on this friendly group remember it? Is it really that
unusual? What caused it?

Do you know the answers to everything!!
I was in Coulsdon that evening...the traffic came to a standstill and I saw
two motorcyclists come off their bikes in the space of 10 minutes. Had about
4 inches of snow here - the local kids loved it.
