Indeed - but it does remind me of the chap on TV a few years ago who got carried away with the drama of whatever he was talking about and said,

"It wasn't just a long time - it was an entire equinox."

Makes you think.

I think it was at 11.14am - so someone told me ! :lol:
I have also been told that it is better to call it March equinox because it is only Vernal this time of year in the northern hemisphere. In Oz it is Autum - so March is better I guess.
Then when we get to autumn here, we call it September equinox.
Do I make myself clear? Oh bollocks :shock: why did I bother in the first place - must be the ex-geography teacher in me.

Good TV show.
If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?
