Peter Tandy probably echoes the astonishment of all of us that any sane person would suggest shooting at a sundial but there is at least one other example that I know of. The otherwise excellent dial at Minster Abbey (on the Isle Sheppey in Kent, UK) is one. The poor image attached might just be small enough to get transmitted but it certainly shows the extensive damage. It must somehow be appealing in some way. I can only think that it must be the sound of the hit that attracts these yobs. Hmmm, maybe it is the fact that the said physiotherapist has himself engaged in this practice that makes him suggest it to others....

Surely there are easier targets to find than that? Do >we know if he succeeded and what damage was done?< ________________________________________________________________________ Don't let your email address define you - Define yourself at http://www.tunome.com today!
