Pajames - just do this for rough idea. (northern hemisphere only)
Point hour hand at sun, bisect the angle between hour hand and 12:00, that is your north-south line.

All good stuff, but this is London we're talking about. I can't remember the last time I saw it here - even in the height of summer it was hidden behind clouds of pollution!

Plus a lot of people only have digital watches, not much use then.

When my plane crashes and I am beaten, raped then dumped in a wooded area by the natives I won't care about which way north is, I will simply call Addison Lee as per usual.

You probably wouldn't have a watch OR a phone.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
