North
by Gnasher the Dog (aka Mike Knipe)
There's magnetic north, grid north and another one, er . . . Very North I think. Don't worry about it. I mean North is North.
The compass is supposed to point North, but mine doesn't, so my best advice is, take no notice.
Useful phrase: "North? Why is it so important anyway? Who wants to walk North? Its full of flat caps, whippets and tripe shops. I mean, you'd be better off in Brighton. At least you get a decent quiche an' a nice drop of beajolais nooovaux. None of that deep-fried mars bar an'a pint o' diesel, an' our Jack's been laid off as there's trouble at t'mill . . . ."
