Last full eclipse visible in the UK was August 11th 1999 - P1 was 14, P2 was just 5!!! Back then, it was very cloudy and became very cold and a bit dark. We saw very little of it. Today's eclipse was only 86% and a bit misty, but I saw quite a bit more than last time. Interesting - even at 86%, the sun was still fully shining and did NOT go into twilight. Just a bit glass and very shadowy. Almost could be the precursor to an apocolyse.
Finley Quaye's Supreme I Preme was playing on MTV at the time - so, here it is again :-)
