What started off as a lament for the quality press, and continued with
the usual gratuitous vulgar abuse from a resident troll, has ended up
with sad news about PE. I've followed him for at least at least twenty
years. Where else would you find out that in the 1850's-60's Sydney had
its coldest ever winter's day? A southerly blast from the Antarctic
with a max. temp. of 3C! Coming from any other source you wouldn't
believe it. All the best PE. Get well soon.


From me too.


And me. Had a lot of correspondence with PE in trying to get the "Historic storms" Lamb book accepted by publishing houses for an update about 3-4 years ago as it's such a useful reference book. Sadly no-one "bit" but Philip's enthusiasm shone through. Best wishes, Philip.
