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 from me. I've always enoyed Philip's thoughtful, informative and
thoroughly well presented articles in print and broadcast. A few years
ago I spent a very useful day at his place on top of Dunstable Downs
researching rainfall data from the library. He was sensible enough to
just let me get on with my research otherwise I would have been
bombarding him with questions of the 'and do you remember' variety?
