Dear John,

You are right to point out the error
of Doug's ways.  I have been known to
do this myself :-)

That said, this isn't quite right
either...

I have several times seen the sun due
north in the northern hemisphere: in
the Arctic and in Singapore, to take
two examples.

Likewise, you can see the sun due
SOUTH in the Antarctic and, without
leaving Australia, you can see the
sun due south in Darwin or Cairns
or, indeed, anywhere just a little
bit north of Alice Springs.

Next month is a good time of year
to see whether I am right!

Very best wishes

Frank
