Tell *me* about it. When I was in London in mid November last year (I
don't usually use a watch) I looked outside and saw it was getting quite
dark, and started heading home. Halfway home I saw a clock, and it
wasn't yet five o'clock... (Over here the earliest the sun sets, in the
middle of June, is about 5.10. The latest it sets, around new years, is
8.45.)
