Lucky you Graham! A case of a typical NW showery airstream as can be
seen from the MO radar, showers off the Irish sea through the Wirral and
going down to Suffolk.

Alas! Most of them missed Wolverhampton, and when they did come across,
it was rain and hail, no thunder or lightening. Only a bit of wet snow
around midday.
