Tom Boles and Sky and Telescope
If I were Tom Boles I would be less than thrilled at the article in
the October 2004 Sky and Telescope! Basically the article - by Martin Mobberley - lays Tom open to a visit from the police on the grounds of: speeding having an illegal number plate having illegal gadgets for evading radar speed traps Is the position of Tom Boles within the British Astronomical Association, the article says he is the Chairman, viable? |

The article is not evidence that he is breaking the law. Maybe he just likes to be sufficiently well equipped to 'push the envelope' to it's limits in the motorist's heroic struggle against the money-grubbing schemes of the chancellor, and why wouldn't his position be viable? Are you suggesting there may be some deficiency in his work? ;-) Denis -- DT Replace nospam with the antithesis of hills |

Tom lives not too far away from me in Suffolk. It has been for a while the want of the local authorities to place a blanket 30mph speed limit in all Suffolk villages and to place speed cameras at more than just accident black spots. Therefore I'm not surprised about the speeding, nearly everyone in Suffolk speeds because the reduce limits are ridiculous. As for the number plate I can't comment having not seen it but he wouldn't be the only one you could find I'm sure. And the gadgets... if you lived in Suffolk you'd get one too! On Tom's BAA position, according to his website he is President. Finally for Tom's work on locating supernovae, I'll forgive a few speeding misdemeanours. Tom's website is - http://coddenhamobservatories.org/ -- Regards Andy |
