Quite so, quite so; however, whilst you are quite correct about the non-setting sun, do remember this refers to the Empire which is spread world-wide and this together with the earth's rotational time of 86,400.002 secs**/rev ensures the non-setting of the sun on the British Empire.

Here in Albion it does most surely set and the gentlefolk take to bed accordingly.

**I'm defining seconds as the SI unit being the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium 133 atom, where the ground state is defined at zero magnetic field.
