Just been out for a gawp - clear as a clear thing here, can see the eclipse in all it's glory...

Beautifully clear in Bristol, the moon is now completely obscured.

I wonder if there are people up there wondering why it's got dark

Not a cloud in the sky.  Tried a picture but the camera is having problems dure to not enough light :-)

Best eclipse I've seen for years.

I saw it half way up when I bowled out the boozer. Looked good but I got the John Smiths call.

Beer and Eclispes, you just can't work them out.

Rick, that looks like a total eclipse of everything mate.
was the cap still on? I took quite a few with 35mm on an EOS 500 200mm lens. now got to wait to get them developed.
got to agree, and the best night for an eclipse.
