A safe way to watch (I've done this) is as follows: You need a pair of binoculars and a piece of white card. Sit with your back to the sun. Hold the binoculars the 'wrong way' round, with the large lens pointing back, over your shoulder, towards the sun. You can now focus the sun's disc on your card, and you can watch the moon creeping over the sun on the card.

Peter Pedant: I've just now seen your post of 0856 today. I'm glad that you found my method useful. I used it this morning, and it was OK for a quick look only, because I couldn't hold the binoculars steady enough.
I can't believe people are saying it's a disappointment.
You didn't try.
Here is my effort. :)

goodone FrogNog x i think a lot of people were disappointed as they couldn't see anything because of the clouds x
Thanks :)
Yeah the cloudy areas were a shame, but there were lots of ways to see it if you did catch a break.
Stood outside in anticipation this morning, and......nothing. Far too cloudy in Hampshire today. Am convinced the eclipse was taken over by National Rail - 'Eclipse delayed by several years due to cloud in the sky / leaf on the line / staff shortage' ;)
