Spent about 35 mins sitting in the car on the moor in the lashing rain hoping for a clear patch in the think cloud. Never happened.

Gah!

. Did anybody see that one at about 3.00am? it started at the top of cassieopea and shot straight down and lasted for about 5 seconds? had a really bright head on it?

Sounds like the one that made me mutter "holy s**t" out loud to myself!!!

I had 95% cloud cover with intermittent heavy showers and high winds. I think I saw the handle of the plough for about 10 minutes and that was that.

It might be, if you are living fairly close together. Meteors occur something like 40 to 70 miles up in the atmosphere, so if you see a meteor overhead, someone a hundred miles away may see it close to the horizon, or not at all.
