Well, quite. But now that we have established that this thread may be used to impart completely useless information. I would like to tell everyone who may be interested (and also everyone else) that the first person to photograph ice crystals with a microscope was William A Bentley (1865-1931).
And I have an impeccable source for my UHU information, I'll have you know.
On the other hand, I'd hate anyone to think I was just posting drivel on this thread in order to keep it going until the Bull Bay Festival actually starts. Perish the thought.
