Put the paragraphs in order.
- AFor as long as I can remember, there has been a map in the ticket hall of Piccadilly Circus tube station supposedly showing night and day across the time zones of the world.
- BThis is because it chops the world up equally by longitude, without regard the reality of either political divisions or the changing seasons.
- CBut this map has always fascinated me, and still does, even though it now seems very primitive.
- DThis is somewhat surprising given the London Underground's historic difficultly in grasping the concept of punctuality.
