Best place to watch solar eclipse tomorrow

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Why would I? It's facts : http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/eclipse-tips-safety.html

I'm not viewing the eclipse as I have no googles , welding ones or otherwise !

Why not view it through a nice telescope, or failing that a magnifying glass, to observe it in all its glory.

You having a flashback, to Putney circa 1980 Foxy?

Popping out now to see it...although its just a thick cloudy smog where I am. Might get colder or something?

You were all complaining at 8.22am! I was on One Tree Hill and we definitely got a dusk-light experience climaxing at 9.30 and then it began to lighten again. It was very cold, the birds shut up, the dog lay down, the apocalyptical cult like chanting began, my phone went flat (ok I hadn't charge it for a few days)...

oh I see...the edf clocks gone bonkers. That's the eclipse for you.

I just tried looking at the sun and there was a sizzling sound in my head. Do you think I might have done some dammmmmagggge./

a happy shopper eclipse for a fine fare nation

this is why Camerons Britin is broken. we are a nation of rapacious colonialists and genocidal murderers who have never made amends for their crimes - this is our payback for the heinous history we have commited on the name of the royal family, the armed forces and international global capital.

there is another one in 11 years time. Hopefully we will have out to bed the ghosts or our awful past, eliminated the royal genetic line, church driven organised noncery, hipster bearded lice filth and disbanded the evil of the capitalist running dog lackey armed forces by then and can look forward to a better eclipse, a better tomorrow with more and darker solar happenings

broadcast ends

Norfolk. Great view of the eclipse from the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere.
