London is sinking

[Old Greg]

Yes unless it's ramadam.

Then there'd be a right old ramadamadingdong

[gingerjedi]

If they're dam foreigners. they'll stop the sea coming in.

[Old Greg]

It’s all those dam foreigners.

Never mind, when I go it will balance out a bit.

Krakow is now 20,000 feet above sea level.

Not really fast enough is it?

[gingerjedi]

Londoners are getting fatter? Is Cornwall rising by any chance?

[Paddy]

You win.

Bother, and I was only messing about.

Possible Sources of Error in Measuring Positions:
�� Clock: Although the atomic clocks in GPS satellites are extremely precise, they are not
perfect.
�� Atmospheric: The ionosphere (the atmospheric layer 30-50 km above Earth’s surface)
contains particles with electrical charges, which change the speed of radio
signals. Water vapor in the troposphere (the atmospheric layer in which weather
occurs) may decrease the speed of radio signals.
�� Multipath: When radio signals bounce off objects such as buildings and trees instead of
traveling directly from the satellite to the receiver, the signal takes longer to
reach the receiver than it should.
�� Ephemeris (orbital): The moon and sun’s gravitational pulls influence the orbit of GPS
satellites.

Then the sea would be sinking 3mm as well (unless it's rising).

No, the GPS satellites are moving 3mm away from the earth every year.
