> to clarify it’s not the international date line but the latitude?

Longitude.

The vertical one that goes from negative to positive at 180 Longitude East or West.

Right. I do know the difference between latitude and longitude; I just mistyped.

I was working in Samoa when they changed the date to align with NZ time, so am quite familiar with the region.


No drama, I'm more and more prone to using the wrong word, adding a 'not', and totally screwing up comments now that I've passed 60.

I mainly intended to clarify for any readers rather than castigate you, and after the initial remark about time zone I got a little blunt.

( FWIW I made several mistakes in this comment and had to edit twice )
