  1. I also would like to remind you Chris, that our role as volunteer reviewers of caches is just that. We are reviewers. Deceangi, working on his own at the moment, is in constant contact both with Lactodorum and myself, and with Groundspeak, to try and get sensible messages out to ALL UK cachers. However, it is also the responsibility of the cache owners, if they feel their caches are in compromised areas, and individual cache seekers, to ensure their actions do not contravene any of the local regulations/recommendations currently in place. It is better that they check local conditions and act accordingly to temp any of their caches they feel should be temped. As mentioned elsewhere I am at present on the Isle of Man, and as another poster has suggested, caching on the island is largely closed down as a result of the local dept of Ag and Fish (I think I have got that right) ruling. In other areas of the UK the closure is not as complete, indeed as I understand it - and I might be wrong - the government is still saying the countryside is not "closed". So surely the message to all is check your local rulings and act as they suggest is necessary. Ecky
  2. I am out on the Isle of Man. There has been a profound knock on effect here to protect the livestock. Next Saturday's Royal Manx Show is cancelled as are all "countryside sporting events", this includes motor cycle trials and mountain bike events. The Government here has asked people to avoid walking, cycling and recreational activities in all countryside areas - suggesting these activities be contained on the beaches. As far as we are concerned that means no caching at all, and we are very happy to comply to ensure, as far as we can, the safety of Manx animals and the livelihood of the farming industry here. Ecky

  19. Up near Western Bank in Sheffield there used to be an old cinema where Professor Krebs investigated respiration in cells. He discovered a cyclic process that became known as the Krebs cycle. It is also called the tricarboxilic acid or CITRIC ACID cycle. I failed my 2nd MB ChB Biochemistry exams (at Sheffield) because I could not for the life of me remember the sequence of enzymes in the cycle and so became a teacher and not a doctor Which bode well for humanity
