View from aboooooove.
Where the Royal Observatory said the prime meridian was, with a nice little sculpture and everything.
...but our GPS says it's about 300 ft. to the east on some grassy patch... so wth?!
+The Prime Meridian is erratic! It changes every few often!
+The British just decided that they're going to be the ruler of the seas and used the Greenwich meridian as a reference point. The French obstain and use another (of course.)
+GPS systems use a different global positioning system, and thus the difference!
Sidenote:
Delicious delicious Montgomery cheddar cheese from Neal's Yard at Covent Garden... SOOOOO goooooooooodddddd.
