Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.

Absolute nonsense!

It will appear as nothing more than a very bright, pinkish star to the
naked eye.

Thanks for your comments Nick :-) I have checked this up since Trevor sent
me a URL on this. It seems that it is one of those rumour emails:-( They
annoy me they do. I have emailed the URL to the friend of mine who sent it
to me. I think she sent it in good faith with all due respect.
If I hear anything else on this I may make a point of looking. As its in
November, the chances of a clear sky are pretty remote as we all know. In
this country the number of clear nights in November are low.

Gavin.
