“Dowsing for children and minerals” would make a great title for a Christmas stocking-filler book.

I am intrigued by these devices. If only there were a place on the internet where I could read a lengthy discourse on their workings and their similarity or not to dowsing.

Also they’ve mistyped @Epimer’s name.

Humphrys asked: “So is it completely inconceivable that there might be something to do with the movement of water under the earth and, I don’t know, it sends a signal, some sort of signal, magnetic or whatever, God knows, through your nerves or something?”

It was an excruciating interview, even by Humphrys’ standards. It could only have been improved by getting Nigel Lawson in to add some balance.
