This must surely prove the validity of the theory of the earth being flat!

Ah ha! I’ve found it; Magnetic North is shifting each year (some 30 miles per year in fact according to some sources!).

The two North’s will ostensibly soon be in alignment

Yes, magnetic north moves constantly. And it varies as to what part of the country you are in. At the moment Magnetic North in Cornwall is west of grid north but in most of the rest of the country it’s east of grid north.

Explains the difference and what is happening. Been happening for years but magnetic north has speeded up considerably

In theory the north and south poles could flip at any time and then we would all be buggered
