Not to mention further east

I s'pose there's no point in pointing out that I'm on BST....

Cheers!

No point at all ... we're talking about the sun's arc in the daytime sky rather than time zones.

Given that you're some 3 degrees west of the longitude here, the sun will set at least 10 minutes later and I was sharing this with you (based on a motion of a little under 4 minutes of time per degree of longitude). Today's official sunset times show that it will set oop north about 15 minutes later than it will dahn sarf.

So if it had been a sunny day and there had been a yardarm ...

Ta.

I'm not sure this sunset criterion is the right way to go you know, given the variation from midsummer to midwinter.

It's moving to an increase in drinking hours for us in the northern hemisphere, so now is not the time of year to change it.

Besides, the yardarm would feel neglected

Good point!

Sorted!

The committee can review again in six months (by which time the file will be lost, no doubt)

Hopefully...

Clink!

I think I can guarantee it

'Placebo' on R4 might be quite interesting....

Surely it should be 'load and lock'?

No, it's not my BP which is so impressively low that I may well be actually dead and not have realised

Nobody is biting.....

Patience!

Did my bit earlier, and it will show if/when anyone checks the linked thread.
