As above

Yes, indeed, but perhaps you would be kind enough to do something about
the cloud cover here :-(

Likewise :-( most of the North and East of the sky cloud covered. Saw
3 in 2 hours. My vision might have been clouded a lttle by that second
bottle of Bulgarian Red!

Ian.

Stayed up 23.00 - 00.30. Perfectly clear sky here in Essex, lots of stars
visible and Milky Way could be made out. Perseids seen: zero.

Presumably it all happened later in the night?

They were behind you, Tom. I was out from about 2230 till about 0100 and saw
about 25-30, I lost count...
