Perseid meteors

So, anyone south of Watford see any meteors last night? A combination of southwest facing windows, central London location, heavy cloud cover and general laziness succeeded in ensuring we saw nothing whatsoever.

Are they still going tonight? The clouds are gone, my view is perfect, but alas, still facing the wrong direction and gazing out at an orange, light-polluted sky. I keep thinking I see shooting stars but it turns out to be just another flight on final approach to Heathrow. You'd think the flashing red meteors would have given it away sooner. Ooh! There's another one! Oh. No. That'll be the police helicopter shining its search light on Brixton.
