If you can have a drink when the sun is passed the yardarm, when exactly is that?

A traditional nautical saying to indicate that it is time for a morning drink. It was generally assumed in northern latitudes the sun would show above the foreyard of a ship by 1100, which was about the time in many ships of the forenoon ‘stand-easy’, when many officers would slip below for their first drink of the day.

Blimey, 11am for the first drink of the day. Even Mrs o-no doesn't have one that early.

Anyone got a 5G phone? What's the coverage like in London and is it as fast as it is made out to be?

Just ordered one but imagine it'll be patchy for a while
