I'm fairly sure that the car will be a write-off 😥

Your insurance assessor will have his work cut out. I would imagine the builders in your area will be busy for a little while. Best to get a few in for quotes ASAP so you get things moving once you get the okay from your insurance company, otherwise you will be at the back of a long queue.
Good luck with it, fella.
Good grief. 😯
Do the schools still teach the weans that we've got a temperate climate?
Not that it's any consolation, but my car's about to be a write-off as well, and that's simply on the strength of the MOT test. Oh, and sorry about your spuds, as well.
Blimey!
Unbelievable!

Blimey. Commiserations.
Imagine being out on the hills when something like that struck. Frightening thought.
Yeah, every time I watch the video in the previous post I think to myself "it's a good job that I wasn't out testing the new tent in those conditions!"
We were relatively lucky - although the eye of the storm passed right above us, our sturdy 1950s council-built house stood up to it well. Further along the hail swath the slate roofs of the older houses didn't stand a chance, they look like they've been hit by artillery air-bursts. I've a mind to get some pics of the carnage when I'm out and about tomorrow.
Of course, this is all good news for local builders, roofers, glaziers and tree-surgeons etc.. I've never seen so many of them in one place, not even at trade-shows.
