Delighted to announce I have reached an agreement with the National Army Museum which will mean that my collection of Victoria Crosses and George Crosses - the largest in the world - will go on display there @NAM_London @VC_and_GC_Assoc

@metoffice @metoffice your grammar is appalling. The word "gotten" is an American one. Unless you are now an American organisation, you shouldn't be using it.

Received a new drone for Christmas? 🎁🎮

Ensure you’re familiar with current flying guidelines before you take it for a spin, as Defence sites are designated as prohibited airspace under the National Security Act 2023. ✅

Another creation ready for Tots and Treasures in Looe!

No longer driving home for Christmas. RIP Chris

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?

[Sheila Marrison @SheilaMarrison]

#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.
