You've effectively rubbished all the [WR]s that I've posted since 1998.
It's almost too much to bear but I suppose I must get a grip. Breakfast
will no doubt help.

If your exposure is good (I've no idea BTW) you can dry your
eyes and tuck in to the Shredded Wheat with renewed self-esteem. The
reason I don't bother with serious wind measurements is that the best
exposure I could find would not justifiy measurement using any device
whatever. I look at trees, low cloud, go for a short walk etc and
make an estimate. This can be difficult at night or if there is no
low cloud or worse, raining.
