Well it'd been sunny all day here, until I took the kids up to Kirky Lane to watch Belle Vue Aces take on the Poole Pirates (British Speedway).
Arrived at 6.15 pm (tapes up at 7.30) and bang on time, as is the custom with any British sporting event, the heavens opened with what was the most spectacular thunderstorm (complete with lightning) I've seen in years.
Within 15 minutes the track resembled a lake and the whole meeting was postponed.
Back home within the hour looking like drowned rats and 20 quid out of pocket
