"Jetlag is simple really: every 15 degrees of latitude is one hour.  Fly
to and from the US and you gain or lose five or more hours."

Only, it seems, if you are a British physician who gives advice to
travellers going west (or does he mean north?  Or south?).  Perhaps
after flying for so long that he is showing evidence of jet-lag?
