Awww shame Ann :-D :-D :-D

'The burst of charged particles which has been released by the Sun and is rushing towards Earth is the biggest since August and comes as the Sun begins the most active stage of its 11-year cycle.
Prior to the August flare, the Sun had not erupted with such magnitude since December 2006, before it entered a five-year period of relative calm.
The cloud of particles will begin reaching Earth at about midday on Thursday and should last until Friday but could be followed by further bursts, experts said'.

Well now, come to mention it BC, I did experience something early this adternoon.
I was abit side tracked at that time, but I clearly remember a wooshing noise, and just put it down to the Chief Constabule flying in his helicoptor from sub-division to HQ, because the fry of chips had just gone on in the canteen.
He's a right little devil for doing that, using up our Council Tax to run his 'coptor, then has the blessed cheek to ask for more money to put more bobbies on the beat.
That must have been it, then.
Thanks BC

Not so Ignorant Now in Derbyshire
