Yes. I can confirm that the regular inclusion of occasional, possible,
likely, maybe does show that you have reached the high level of chief
forecaster.


I shall ignore that disrespectful comment.

And I wish to disagree that Haytor is actually Dartmoor. After all, it
is less than 10 miles from Bovey Tracey. ...Not exactly High Willhays,
is it Will?


John, I live here and I know where I live and it is inside the Dartmoor National
Park on the eastern edge. Hay Tor summit at 457m asl is just 0.5 miles from my
house. Rippon Tor summit at 474m asl is about 1 mile away. Bovey Tracey is some
900 feet down the hill and just over 3 miles away.
1000s of visitors come up onto Dartmoor each summer and all of them seem to
reckon that Hay Tor is Dartmoor. Yes I admit it is not the high moor and I never
said it was, so chill out please.

Will.


I thought that was a bit below the belt as well. At first I'd wondered
whether Will had joined the "666" cross posting hate mail that is
normally directed to someone in the NE. It's all a bit worrying really,
we seem to have "Internet Rage"
