Re: how do you cope ? oh, this is such good fun! ;D ;D ;D http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/WMM/calculators.shtml Go to this page and click single point calculator - if you are using an iPad, and allow the use of your current location, you can get a google map showing exact magnetic north for your position.

Re: how do you cope ? The Lambies know...... Can report a magnatic north orientation yesterday evening! Off lead.
Re: how do you cope ? [quote author=drjs@5 link=topic=3533.msg44846#msg44846 date=1388945974] We seem to have a tendency for North-East orientation. Hmmmm....... [/quote] That'd be about right - magnetic North is in a north-easterly direction.....I think.....
Re: how do you cope ? Magnetic North is somewhere around Baffin Island in Canada. (Baffin Island was a question in my O level geography exam - I failed though). So West from Scotland. Lilly must need a compass adjustment too.
Re: how do you cope ? Hmm...just checked my android compass - didn't think of doing that when I was out : - maybe it was closer to North. Was distracted by the on-lookers and the search for the wee Patterdale I should know my powers of guesstimating are pretty poor.
Re: how do you cope ? Any checking of pooing direction here will have to wait til it warms up as it's bad enough to have to take mittens off to bag the poo, never mind fiddling around with a phone/compass....
Re: how do you cope ? Found this Mail news article - seems the idea is getting more popular .... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...-toilet-Canines-affected-magnetic-fields.html I did sigh at the thought dogs cock their legs to poo
Re: how do you cope ? I'm posting this on behalf of Lady who says "A girl has her sensibilities so I always poo with my nose upwind!". And she does.
