"Say what we like I guess, but is there a correct terminology?!"

Peter,
It is all convention. Some local references to nearby places can be quite 
humorous. East used to be up on maps and this is probably a good system as 
when we get the next polarity reversal will we still call the north pole 
"north"? If so then what about magnets and compasses. At least we will still 
roll on towards the east!
Regards,
alan
