Hi Philip,

We have just returned from the zoo and my goodness that wind certainly
has an edge to it with most of the animals staying inside.

Off topic do you know why there are gates up to the zoo from the downs
with signs saying they maybe shut. The wife suggested it was possibly
due to when there was heavy snow
