While Wilson quenched his thirst with an ice-cold Pepsi and his hunger with a toffee-apple, we strolled to the pier head where we came across one last Tim Hunkin machine: the Quantum Tunnelling Telescope.
W was not to be denied a peek through this, and we soon found what proved to be our last £1 coin.
Popping it in the slot, he peered through the eyepiece and gasped! Then he swung the telescope round and gasped again!
'What is it?' I asked, 'What can you see?'
'I can't really explain,' he replied enigmatically, 'I can see everything like through an ordinary telescope, but it's sort of somehow revealing the world of Quantum Reality too…'
As you can imagine, my curiosity was well and truly piqued, but we didn't have another coin for me to have a go myself.
Anyway, it's high time we thought about heading back to Uckfield, where we can celebrate Wilson's well-overdue birthday!
