Hey Jonathan Little Pig,
Read the original post again. He said:

He is talking about:

This gap can only be corrected by setting margin-top: 0;Â It has nothing
to do with padding.
However, as I said in one of the posts, reset would have avoided this
problem altogether.Â
Is this clear Mr Little Pig?

You might try your local college which might be running courses for boys
who didn't make the grade in their elementary school. They call it foundation course to prepare people to right their wrongs at elementary school.

Sigh. USENET is over 30 years old, and people have STILL not learned
not to feed the trolls.

You can convert it into a standard by using html5 semantics. For
example <section> .... </section> can have its own header, h1, and
footer; It doesn't matter if they are already used once as part of the
main body.
For it worrying is that nobody has mentioned that the OP could reset all elements to zero at the start of the css file (to clear browser specific defaults) and then each element can be styled and padding and margins included if needed.
I always start my css with:
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
Some people also include border as part of the reset process but it
doesn't matter so much.

change your one of your styles to:
div#main h1 {
font-size: 2.5em;
text-align: center;
/* padding-top: 2em; */
margin-top: 0;
}
I have commented out *padding-top *AND inserted *margin-top: 0*

line-height?
Also, div#header h1 has padding and margins specified, but div#header
does not. Perhaps the default browser styling for div is messing you
up.
Unrelated to the issue you raised, but you have several h1's in the
page, which I don't think is standard.

(Overall, the page isn't very polished, and you'll detect I'm in the
very early stages of "mastering" flexbox. But for now it's this gap
that has me foxed.)
div#main h1 { padding-top: 2em;
This is the culprit, change it to a lower value.

Hey Jonathan Little Pig,

Ad hominem asside, the OP defined the issue as:
"The appearance of padding below the title text is actually due to a mysterious gap between div#header and div#main."
And as I said:
"If the OP's problem is the vertical space between the black header area
and the H1 "Saturday 30 November 7:30""
So if the title text is "Winchmore String Orchestra", that is the black
div div#header and the "mysterious gap is the space between that and "Saturday 30 November 7:30" which is in div#main then the real question
for the OP is what does he means by "the gap"?
If "the gap" is the extra black space below "Winchmore String
Orchestra", then the problem is the default top margin on "div#main h1"
and can be corrected with:
div#main h1 {
margin-top: 0;
...
}
However if "the gap" is the extra orange space above "Saturday 30
November 7:30" then removing or reducing the "padding-top: 2em;" as I suggested is the solution.
Whoever is correct depends on what the OP means by "the gap".
BTW the last time I endured such a "creative" ad hominem was back in elementary school...

Interesting. I've looked for confirmation of this...
