I can see for miles

A wonderful coincidence. Earlier this morning, I posted a comment somewhere below about how I thought "I can see for miles" by the Who would be a potential all-time favourite air guitar tune (of mine, anyway). This afternoon, I noticed for the first time that foXinternet links to the London weather website which today states that the visibility is "unlimited miles". This is not strictly true as far as I am concerned as I can only see as far as the White Hart from out of my window. I reckon that's about 35 yards. Or 0.0199 miles. But an interesting concept nevertheless. Fred Trueman (I think) was once bowling at his fastest late in the evening when the batsman complained to the umpire about the light (or lack of light) and consequent potential for injury to himself. "You can see the moon," said Fred. "How far do you want to see?"
