Aha! I see the problem. You are making the elementary mistake of all amateur cartographers.

In order to calculate west-ness, you have to apply the Idoan-Giveatoss formula. This formula, loosely based on the well-known Duckworth/Lewis Method, clearly states that west-ness is a function of:

(ability to speak English proper-like) x 1/2(damn foreign johnnies) + ((pi x 4:00pm) - cost of a pint) x 42

It is pretty obvious which country is therefore to the west of which.

As far as Cricket goes, you omitted to mention that the Mesopatamian that invented the game was a half brother to John, Lord Marbury, Earl of Croy, Earl of Sherbourne, Marquess of Needham and Dolby, Baronet of Brycey. Something to do with their mother and a brief fling in Istanbul. The game is therefore as English as a late-model Mini Cooper.

Yes, I would like to know what Airlink is like to work for...
