Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland then. Could also be the Isle of Man, but I think being a UFO is still illegal there. Can't be the Channel Islands as they're not a part of the UK, they're a crown protectorate....

 

P.S. Spoke to Anna on the phone this morning - she'd got the final exam of her philosophy degree on Thursday...

If any of you were at the 3rd annual scottish bash this question caused some cotroversy and even spawned a cache in its honour.

Hmm, John Napier invented logarithms, knots derived from the device, originally a log tied to knotted line paid out from a ship and I presume that you logged your cache find...

Don't know about his skeletal remains but is that close enough after 12 hrs... :rolleyes:
