Not so fast John!
Just this week the Chamber of Trade in my hometown (Bedlington, Northumberland,
England) have arranged with NASA to send a CD ROM with the names and details of
the inhabitants and town maps etc. to Mars in 2001. In addition they have put
forward a claim for an area the size and shape of Bedlington on the Red Planet
for colonisation.
Naturally Lindisfarne Sundials will have a branch office there although advance
orders for Martian dials may be held up until supplies of *brass* can replace
the crates of ladies' lingerie items incorrectly scheduled for the first
delivery of raw materials. :-)
