In short, the residents of Shrewsbury were a little concerned by the sonic boom caused by a Typhoon inadvertantly exceeding the speed of sound whilst performing and emergency descent. :)

Nope, news to me  ::)

Unfortunately I had just left two of my boys poolside for their swimming lessons and had sat down again to watch. It's so flippin' noisy in there I would have had no chance of hearing it.....10 minutes earlier and I would have been outside  ::)

At least everyone's ok  8-)
