Abit windy in the old UK today

[x4rl]

Pressure comes into play, regardless. Brick built buildings (all of the UK) can withstand winds than any wood built building, fact. Scotland had 142mph winds but only roofs were torn off which is understandle but the house structure was intact.

The point is simple, whenever the UK experiences any severe winds the structural integrity of households is never in the news. Our designs for our climate manage to hold up to mother nature. All of our issues stem from trees falling onto our houses.

Your level 15 and resistant to black holes wood frame, can I throw a little bit of petrol and a match against it, do the same against my double bricked wall. The point is there is hardly any wood in my house, only the roof. Your entire house is wood.

Night.

It used to be a big entrance door if I remember rightly, back when it was Club Wow. it was converted into a subway after and the glass front put in.

Correct. Went there many a time when I was 17/18 years old.

Really? Don't tell the steel I-Beams in the roof and the steel trusses and the steel in the walls that. Most of the "wood" in mine is furniture.
And no, I don't live in a "high rise"... just a standard 2 story steel framed house. Don't have to worry about termites either... unless they decide to start munching on concrete or iron.
