I mean, I was thinking when I have visited Greenwich and straddled the Meridian for photos I usually orientate myself so that I am facing South so my right side is West and my left side is East. But when we read a map we always face North (if you see what I mean).
How about you?

*confused *
if you are facing south , then left ie East and right is West ...I would have thought that if you face North, then West is left and East is right ... no ?
Have never been to Greenwich ..looking forward to it

It is but also I have imbibed some wine and a cocktail, so perchance I am pissed, I will amend the post accordingly.
QueeneMab
Ha, see! All is now well.

QueeneMab
You'd best catch up then.
Here, have a cocktail.

That's better now we are equally able to distinguish left from right or even east from west. Ahem.
Would you like another?

btw - what's the name of the brightest star as you look south ...quite low down in the sky ?

QueeneMab
Do you mean Sirius? sort of at the bottom of the left leg of orion also known as Sotiris the soul of isis to the Ancient Egyptians? It is a double star/blue white and is large and very twinkly (because it is two stars Canis major and canis minor)?

Could well be .. it looks like an arch of two or three stars.. very bright and twinkly . I see it from my balcony , on the left. There are very few other stars visible.
The moon appears later on the left , but a lot later on .. probably after 2 am

QueeneMab
Or Venus?
That is a large bright white planet visible just after sunset in the south west ish or just before sunrise.
Here are some sites about Sirius.

If I could only remember where I left that biro...

Isn't it the other way round ?
(I've been waving my arms around like I'm trying to land an imaginary plane)

When I stand on my south-facing balcony ( I think I am facing south ) , the sun sets on my right ( west ) and rises in the east ( left )
Mind you , if I was facing North , east would be on my right and west on my left.

Hang on, I know what your up to - this is all about rudeness and shagging people of the both sexes.
You don't fool me you dirty dirty woman.
Mind you, I have stood straddling that line in Greenwich the last time we were there.........
OH BUGGER!

QueeneMab
Really?
So which side of you is east and which is west?
or are you completely reversable?
Ahem.

Yes Nick...
It's all about you baby !
No, acutally I was rather hoping it was about hot big breasted lesbians covered in baby oil and tight fitting latex.
Or summink.

Pro I don't mind going down south and I do like being up north but I have never ventured east as I am a bit of a west kinda gal.
Ahem.
QueeneMab
Good that you have travelled widely.
Ahem!
