    Probably the most difficult bit is working out in which direction the equator is

     

    Think about it, providing you are vertical you will always be facing the equator no matter which way you face, only the distance will vary... ;) 

     

    Edit:

    Just thought, if you are parallel to it you won't be...

  2. I watched it on iPlayer and oh dear. Flintoff may be a great bloke but he is not and in my view never will be comfortable in front of the cameras. Paddy... who the hell is Paddy?

    The script and the set pieces are stilted and seemingly more and more bizarre. Lately for me the only bright spot has been the episodes when Sabine Schmitz has taken part, her enthusiasm is infectious.

    I stopped being a regular viewer when Clarkson and crew were doing it because they had run out of ideas long ago and were getting sillier and sillier. Stuart is right  - let it go.

     

    To rescue the show who do the team think would make a good presenters?  Sabine Schmitz? Phil Tufnell? Nick Nowles?...

     Mind you this is from someone who still believes in Santa and the tooth fairy, so I'm not sure whether she just has an overactive imagination...

    Let's all be honest, I've never heard people speak like that, especially these days,  and I bet most people haven't. It's all a fantasy, and is fictitious to say the least. Maybe a couple of generations ago, when people knew which class they were in, and made little or no effort to better themselves. Even people who live north of Redhill have finally learned how to string a coherent sentence together these days ! 

    Grrrrr ! 

     

    You don't ride the tram that often then...

    why do they just hammer the car drivers?

     

    Because they can! We are just cash cows and they will milk us for all they can get. When cars take control and there is no more revenue from speeding fines, they will simply draft a new law and off we go again..
