I remember this coming up before, but can't find the thread.  Pointer  
to the details?  (Or brief briefing?)  We made the pilgrimage to  
Greenwich on Sunday.  Harrison's clocks lived up to their hype.   
Fitzpatrick brought his GPS, which read zero near the gift shop (W of  
Airy).

A busker told the story of the place where time and space begins.  It  
would be a shame if neither was true any more.
