At that time I was living in a flat in Golders Green, well 2 rooms & a shared kitchen to be precise. I was clearly an ethnic minority in Golders Green terms. I remember the storm well.

I was seeing a mate in Addiscombe, part of Croydon. It went *very* gloomy in the early evening but there was no rain. In fact there was none south of the Thames.

Ethnic minority? Diddums. Try being Welsh, though you wouldn't believe it to hear me. :-)

When all the neighbours look like this http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/...n_1826929c.jpg being a Cornish surfy type does make you stand out!

Apparently it was immediately obvious I wasn't an orthodox Jew. I can't see it myself.

Me neither. Do we have any stock footage of orthodox Jewish surfers to validate our view?
But if you're Cornish you're an ethnic minority anyway, aren't you? Be proud.
