I just got a new scope as well

It's that a combination of the clocks going back that produces the inevitable, solid rain till Thursday night by the looks of it

I hope not euan but its like the little joke on here when anybody buys a new a new scope they say it will now be raining solid for about a month lol.

Never buy a "St Swithans" branded scope! .

In see that Walker's Crisps Have paid out £660,000 on their "£10 if it rains" promotion. Given that we get about 160 days when it rains , I think they were on a loser.

I can't recall the last time that we had clear skies, it certainly puts all ideas of stars on the back boiler at the moment!
