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!

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?

I sat in my garden (Fleet, Hampshire) from 23:00-23:30 and saw about 12-15
in total, including 3 in 10 seconds. I was amazed at how fast they move
across the sky.

I went out for about 20 minutes just after midnight, with fairly clear
skies, and saw about half a dozen. Very fast and short lived.

Fantatically clear here and little light pollution. Saw 7 in 10 minutes
around 2330. Most were very short lived. Would have looked for longer, but
suffering from a bad neck at the moment, which isn't too conducive.

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

I have not seen this for years-is it still around? Unlikely to be
better than the £5 for 2L of Chilean Merlot fairly widely available...

Never seen such a poor show in fact it was better on Friday made worse by
the fact the sky was perfectly clear and dark
