( I was dying to say" up the way!" )
I thought they'd be nice wee gentle shooting stars but some are big bright scary fast feckers! 
going now I will report back on my return
I got excited just then in the garden (dead clear warm night here in the NE) and was told they were just stars 
Just read on the Guardian site that you have to look NE between 2 and 4 now (different instructions everywhere you look!)

Mr Leccy proper pissed on my chips, I was really excited...he said "they're stars!"...then "they're not even moving!"
I'll try again later.
Well I'd say that was right. Are they not called Perseids because they are in the constellation of Perseus, which is North Eastish.quote:Originally posted by electric6:

Oooh I've no idea! (I can't even tell the difference between them and stars, as I've just demonstrated) sounds plausible though
If I have to look NE though, it means going into the front street ...and not just the garden (which is more convenient as I'm in my dressing gown
)quote:Originally posted by Gypsie:

I shall buy you a compass madam!
I' just guessing out the front door is NE...it seems nearer the sea than the garden does

No but I'm guessing the north sea faces east I'm reading that sentence and bamboozling myself but I know what I mean (I think
) I think I might be wrong...oh god I am so hopeless.

Black Country report - nothing, quite a heavy cloud cover here and lots of light pollution which I expect makes a great difference.

Same here on the Wirral.
The only strange thing I saw was an odd looking 'leaf' on a rock; just as I bent over to inspect it closer, the bloody thing jumped towards me . . . . sodding frog!! Nearly had a heart attack!
