Sundials are not quite so simple as they at first appear.
All day tomorrow, for an observer in the London area, the sun will
exactly track the Clarke Belt (which is the orbit that geostationary
satellites are put into).
So you can use the sun - tomorrow only - to adjust the tracking of
your satellite dish.
And not many people know that!

Can we have a celebration?
Perhaps a public holiday?
Where pray did this gem come from?
