I've experienced partial eclipses before, so I was prepared for the inevitable response from the kids in school, which included: "Are you messin?" "Is THAT it?" "We stood in the freezing cold for that?" "When will it happen?" "Has it happened yet?" The BBC news site described it as 'breathtaking'. Others around me were distinctly more underwhelmed!
