Thanks Jonn, I really didn't know why the old county of Ross & Cromarty was so named. (And I loved the side-swipe at the Association of British Counties - what an odd bunch they are...)
Hoping you note that the time lines being set on GMT are impacted by latitude even though the hours go by longitude, and Greenwich being so far north means that places like Sydney should have Daylight Savings Time all year long as the northerness of Greenwich means we have absurd light at 5am and darkness at 5pm in winter which wouldn’t be so if Greenwich was a few thousands miles south and all our hours would start later in the day

I'm looking forward to the book.
Fascinatingly ridiculous! Is the book available to pre-order from another source, other than Amazon?
