[QUOTE="Happy-Buddah, post: 105598"] Magnetic north is somewhere in canada at the present time. Hence the three british ladies racing to be the first female team to reach it. The sun is due south, in the UK at 12 noon GMT (1pm BST) if you are on the zero meridian. For each degree off of that the sun appears to have moved 4 minutes in time. ie, I'm at 1*east so my due south is 11.56GMT or 12.56BST. For some one in Poole, 2*west, the sun would be due south at 12.08GMT (13.08BST). For someone in Fishguard, 6*west, the sun would be due south at 12.24GMT (13.24BST) etc etc. The above applies to the UK, where we have one time zone. H-B [/QUOTE]
