A week or so ago, I sent an article on the use of a sextant to a UK sailing magazine which concentrates on practical boating matters. To my astonishment, I received a reply saying that although they liked it, they could not publish anything 'which may involve looking at the sun owing to Health and Safety legislations'. Believe me, this is not a leg pull! Let us pray that the fat controllers never switch off the satellites. Tony C
