Dear Willy et al,

You are quite right...

> There are two fundamental errors in the
> article by David Leafe for the Daily Mail.

He spent an hour on the telephone to me
yesterday evening.  He went through his
text about 20 times.  The big problem, for
me, was trying to explain the difference
between latitude and longitude!

An even bigger problem was that his Editor
kept reminding himthat the text must be
something that Daily Mail readers could
understand!

I thought he had got everything right but
his Editor must have back-tracked a couple
of versions.  No doubt Daily Mail readers
will be happy :-)

Moral: never believe what you read in the
newspapers even when it is quoting me.

Very best wishes

Frank
