Watching it muted , it isn't just SKY , every channel has a commentator spewing out inane drivel.
Not one astronomer to be seen .
Journalism in this era is hopeless.

He said a load of gushing ridiculous nonsense, like he's just been able to see again after 40 years of blindness.
Then after a bit more reporting of other stuff from the studio, they went back to him!!!
So he repeated it all.

The one in 1999 (not 98 Sad).

I was working on a golf course in North Essex at the East Anglian Open, less than 30 miles from Cambridge.
It was OK and the golf stopped and everyone mumbled a bit and watched it, then it was over and it all carried on.

It wasn't campsites and T-Shirts and BBQ's and a week away. Like seems to happening all over America.
