Not correct. This time of year, if I look north I won't see the sun because it's so low on the southern horizon. It's even lower in the north of the country. I can only see it of I look south. In the mornings when most people are driving to work, it causes all sorts of problems because it's straight ahead of you and quite blinding if you're driving in the appropriate direction. In winter I hated one job I had because I was driving with the sun coming in at eye level through one of the car windows both going to work (easterly) and coming home (westerly). Even in the height of summer, if I look north, it's still behind my head for most of the day. My sundial wouldn't work if it wasn't, which, before anyone comments, has the correct angle for the gnomon for our latitude and is adjusted twice a year for British Summer Time. My peripheral vision is good enough so I could see the sun for a while on my right after sunrise and on my left before sunset, but only see my shadow for most of the day.
