How rude! For your information I do 'low quality' not 'crazy'. Mods must etc etc.

This is also my new favourite thread because I'm learning something. More tide facts please!

from what sleuthing i've been able to dig up newlyn hasn't been used in favour of mean sea level since 1921?

Mean sea level is different at all places around the coast. East to West, North to South. You would need to know MSL at each place rather than zeroing your tide gauge on a known point. All readings need a datum.
