I'm always happy to take material for putting on the site, of course,
and I did add an item on the Pembroke Dangler a few months ago which
Graham Easterling kindly provided.

I suppose I should post a reminder from time to time. The fact that I
post (and read) very little here these days, mainly due to a certain
nasty element that arrived in the group a while ago, means that my sig
doesn't get seen very often.

.... sorry Steve, I forgot about the 'Dangler'!

I used to post a reminder roughly once per 3 months (minimum), though
it did vary depending on when I updated the document: the reminder and
notification of changes was a combined posting.

I have been lurking as an observer of this group for some time.
I have recently retired as lecturer in meteorology for 30 years at
Plymouth Uni and therefore have a little more time on my hands to
contribute occasionally.
Home is in the coastal village of Wembury in SW Devon. I take daily
obs of max and min air temp. from a Stevenson screen and daily
rainfall totals from a standard Casella 5 inch brass gauge. The
siting of the measurements is typical of a garden with numerous
shrubs, so is hardly standard exposure. It is 79 m amsl and about 1 km
from the sea.
I get the impression that there is a SW England bias to the
subscribers of this group. Especially since the Met Office lot moved
down here. It would be interesting to know the geographic distribution
of subscribers. Does anybody know this?


Hello Len. It would be quite interesting to have a map, it's true.
There's a small cluster of us in SE London and we used to have a few men
of Kent. Men everywhere, actually. Are there actually *any* other women
here apart from me since Gianna stopped posting?

PS To avoid getting aerated, I download headers first, then I can avoid
the threads that are likely to degenerate. This is quite painless and I
still enjoy reading about the weather.

Yes, it is a real shame about that. Still, we have not fared as bad as
uk.sci.astronomy which sadly has been almost completely abandoned to the
"nutters".

There are still a good number of interesting and informative posts on this
group, and some good-natured banter at times. Let's keep it up and try and
ignore those who just want to spoil the party.
