Subject: RE: BS: The Christmas Lectures?
Yes, John, I am English. I've been surprised in the past, too, to realize that some Mudcat people I thought were American turn out to be Canadian, Australian, English etc.
More information about the Royal Institution Lectures here: Christmas Lectures
They have been happening every year since 1826 (except for 1939-45) and one of the most frequent speakers in the early days was Faraday. The whole of that Royal Institution website makes fascinating reading.
