Natstrack - don't forget to pick up a couple of Milky Ways for the kids.

Rat - what I have never understood is how, if the earth is 'stationary' (rotational only) at the poles but moving at 1000kts at the equator, there are not loud rending noises and shearing of the earth's surface - or is that what all these earthquakes are really about?

Leave the cork........................
