Topic: The Severn Bore

[Mrs Ava]

No, not 7 boring people, but the amazing tidal movement along the river severn.  We watched 'Coast' on BBC2 tonight and really enjoyed it, but then I have a soft spot for thos kind of Open University educational progs.

Have any of you actually witnessed a Bore?

;D Yes I witnessed one a long time ago when I were a lad at Bewdley near Kidderminster, it was like watching paint dry, it was a bore, until it arrived and you could hear the cheers for miles, I had to have a fag after...as you do. :o ;D

Yes I watched it EJ.  I have never seen anything like it before although I'd heard of it.  I kept having to nudge my old man as he was falling asleep and I didn't want him to miss it  :)  I like the programme very much.  I enjoyed the Dimbleby one as well. 

Did you watch the gardening prog last night?  All about scent.  I really enjoyed that too  :)

No, haven't actually seen a Bore, EJ, but we're enjoying the programme too!  Fascinating stuff.
