Since the international date line is not a straight line, it’s possible to go between tomorrow, yesterday, and today by simply travelling directly north or south.

I took off from Auckland at 7pm Sunday evening and landed in Sam Francisco at 10am sunday morning.

If you were to take Norway, lift it up and stand it on its most southern tip, then let it fall forward in a southerly direction, where would it land?

We had one a few years ago when posters were naming the places they’d been furthest north, south, east and west. One poster said his furthest north was Toronto, until someone pointed out that’s (way) south of Glasgow.

 

[Coza]

Some of these are bonkers.

Had to look at this for an obscure reason and I was quite surprised.

Ibrox is actually slightly further north than Sharkheid

Must be the river which makes it feel differently

Got to be a great question for winning a few bob in the pub!

(Not sure if you go by boundary or main central post office)

I know this one because I did a Sporcle quiz with friends one night and lost out because I couldn’t see in my mind who could be further north than Stranraer but south of Hamilton.

In geographical terms Lewis and Harris are indeed one island, the boundary between the two areas is traditionally Loch Seaforth but this doesn't divide the island. The narrowest point of land is at Tarbert on Harris, but there is no clear water between the two there either.

Lewis and Harris is also the UK's largest island.

Apart from Great Britain?
