I'd say you're right

There was a remarkably tedious correspondence in New Scientist some years ago on this point...

And whether or not leaning into the rain made a difference.

what's it to be then,

a week at Butlins in Southend, or splash out and travel a little further afield to Skegness ?

Neither but as it happens Skegness is closer.

You seem very well versed in the locations of Butlins - is there something you feel you should get off your chest?

gee

Gee, give me a break -- I've read about this problem in one physics/math mag that my dad subscribed me to -- I had to solve fecking problem from it, but not those advanced like this one: they actually had a solution but I did not finish reading the article. I think it was dated 1988 or so :rolleyes

Russians? Boring nerdy buggers? Now why am I not especially surprised by that :rolleyes
