The last solar eclipse was back in 1999. WHo can remember where they were. Myself, I was working in Reading & remember how cold it turned & then 1 or 2 street lights came on.
The next Solar Eclipse for the UK will take place on Friday 20th March 2015, the best place to watch it shall be on the Faroe Islands inbetween Iceland & Scotland with 98% coverage, London will experience 80%+. [smiley=cool.gif]
