I have come to a conclusion

Canary Wharf was designed as a wind tunnel.

I feel bad now.

Y'know why?

My dad was one of the cable jacks that helped build Canary Wharf tower. My great-great granddad was the engineer who developed the worlds first wind tunnel.

CONSHPIRICY!

Similarly, Salford Quays. Grrrr.

And my tinfoil umbrella is no use in this wind! THEY'RE COMING TO GET ME!!!

On the plus side, I have attack hair.

Its ok. The weather here has been so bad that I've nearly been blown over a few times. Problem with being a coastal city- nothing to stop all that storm just coming in and taking over like it owns the place.

If they get you, make sure you demand tea. Don't be letting the side down!

Yeah, it's the whole surrounded by river thing making it so bad here. That and the way the buildings just wind tunnel everything.

I know tea-fu. They will never defeat me.

Yeah, cycling in today wasn't the best of plans, I nearly got blown in front of a van! I may walk home...

Nonono, Canary Wharf was entirely designed to distract the IRA from bombing all the nice old buildings in town. :)

You may have a point.

And I work here. Yay.

I work in the building that's the centre of the picture of the damage of the last blast on Wikipedia.

You obviously need one of these...
