Bloody French...
by Simon at 14:49 05/03/08 (Blogs::Simon)
From the Wikipedia entry on geodesy...
Azimuth is the direction angle within the plane of the horizon, typically counted clockwise from the North (in geodesy and astronomy) or South (in France).

They got the length of the metre hopelessly wrong too (which is why the Earth's polar meridian circumference isn't exactly - and never was - 40,000km).

I think they should give up :-)
