A story about the way in which gaints navigate

Senior Giant and student giant wandering around the planet.
Student giant says to senior giant,
"Don't you get fed up just aimlessly wandering around, up to your waist in
cloud, no idea what's going on down below or even knowing where you are?
Senior giant replies,
No, it's alright. Anyway, I know where I am!
Student giant say's
OK, where are we then?
Senior giant reaches down through the cloud with his right hand and
replies,"Egypt"
"How do you know that" replies the student giant?
Senior giant replies, "I can feel the pyramids".
Student giant thinks, "I'll catch him out later".
Later that day after much wandering the student say's, "OK, where are we
now then?
Once again the senior giant reaches down through the cloud with his right
hand and after a few moments say's proudly, "Paris, France".
Student giant say's "how do you know that?
Senior giant replies,"Easy, I can feel the Eiffel Tower".
Student giant thinks to himself,"What a smart arse. I'll catch him though"
A short while later student giant say's, "Come on then, where are we now?
Senior giant reaches down through the cloud with his left hand and after
only a few seconds say's "Harlow, England"
Student giant say's, How the hell do you know we are in Harlow?
Senior giant exclaims, "Some bastard knicked my watch!!"
