Remembering with sorrow the incredibly brave crew of the RNLB Solomon Browne 19 December 1981. May they always have fair winds and following seas.

Sky, BT, EE still down in the village - over 30 hours without broadband, landline or TV. No information about when it will be restored, but someone heard from Openreach that it would be sorted by 11pm last night.
Will #Skybroadband be paying compensation for the lack of service?

#skybroadband has been down all day. We have no internet, no landline and no TV. Will there be any compensation forthcoming for the lack of service and lack of information as to what the issue is and when the service which we are paying an arm and a leg for will be restored?

KWT's Dave, Gus and Smudge are usually spot on with their weather forecasting.
⚠️ YELLOW WEATHER WARNING FOR RAIN ISSUED BY THE MET OFFICE ⚠️🌧️
The Met Office has now issued a Yellow Weather Warning for Rain covering Cornwall from midnight Thursday (00:00) right through until 9pm Thursday evening (21:00).
So what’s brewing out there in the Atlantic? 🌊
A complex and rather moody low-pressure system has formed over the mid-Atlantic and is currently doing a slow dance towards the UK. As it deepens and moves closer, it’s expected to bring a swathe of heavy and persistent rain right across Cornwall.
Here’s what we know so far
🌧️ Rain Totals: Many areas could see 20–30mm of rainfall, with 30–50mm likely in places and some hillier spots could see even more than that.
💨 Wind: Alongside the rain, expect blustery winds at times with a small chance of gales, especially along exposed coasts and high ground.
Conditions: Visibility could be poor in heavy downpours and mist, so take care if you’re driving or out and about early Thursday morning.
Now, before anyone rushes to build an ark there is still some uncertainty about the exact track and intensity of this system. As I mentioned yesterday, models are still shifting slightly, so the heaviest rain could move west or east depending on how things evolve. But one thing’s for sure Cornwall is in for a proper soaking midweek!
💡 KWT Advice:
Keep an eye on local rivers and drains if you’re in low-lying areas.
If you’re commuting or heading out early Thursday, allow extra travel time.
And if you’ve got outdoor plans… maybe swap the BBQ for a brolly! ☔
We’ll be keeping a close eye on this one as it develops expect more detailed updates and radar checks from me as we get closer to Thursday.
Stay dry, stay safe, and keep that kettle ready for storm-watching brews! 🍵
More updates soon,
KWT Dave
🐾 Smudge and Gus are currently inspecting the puddles-to-be and preparing their raincoats… they’ll give their full weather verdict later 🐕

Drone_SAR_For_Lost_Dogs_UK @sar_dogs is a reputable organisation who would NEVER charge anyone for searching for their lost pets and they are only UK wide. The scam group, on the other hand, are asking people for £300 and say they are worldwide. Let's get the scammer shut down.
#DroneSAR PLEASE Retweet this image far and wide. We have a Facebook Scammer
PLEASE help get this scammer shut down for good 🙏🏻🙏🏻 #MissingDog #PleaseHelp

So sad to hear of Paul O'Grady's passing. As Lily Savage, he was absolutely brilliant. As himself, he came across as one of the kindest, gentlest people who absolutely adored dogs. I am sure he will be very greatly missed by all whose lives he entered.

When will these people learn? The signs are big enough and tide timetables are easy enough to understand.
Seahouses ILB launches for Holy Island Causeway on Wednesday afternoon for a vehicle trying to cross outside the safe times.
Details from the incident attached. 📄
