I’ll bet none of you can figure out the secret location of where our pilgrimage is from this photo….

Empty narrow street with old buildings and a drain down the middle.

How come this place on the eastern extremity of Catalunya with flat land, a nice river, excellent access to the Mediterranean and a really satisfying very very long gently curved beach that would be an excellent tourist hotspot is NOT the location of a massive city?

Use the word “airport” Not airporty enough Put it in it block capitals Not airporty enough Make it pink Not airporty enough Add a little picture of a plane Not airporty enough Add the words “to international destinations” Just the right amount of airporty.

Thameslink rail map. Gatwick Airport, standing out in bright pink, has a label “to international destinations”

Hands up who thought a victory for the Labour Party, (even a Labour Party whose leader was a filing cabinet with googly eyes and a red rosette) wasn’t possible in 2024.

Highlighted from Wes Streeting’s resignation letter to Kier Starmer: “You led our party to a victory few thought possible in 2024”

For anyone who’s enjoyed SNL UK’s superb sketch about the 1984 British pork “My wife’s got what it takes” advert, Map Men are jumping on the bandwagon to repost our own homage we did last year.

Look at all the detail in this blink and miss it gag. The funny names in the signatures. The perfect logo. And all in 1978 when no one could pause their tellies!

Map glitch? Or not much demand for EV charging points east of Greenwich?

Map of Western Europe with a purple dot for every EV charging point. An invisible line, down the Greenwich Meridian at zero degrees splits the map into very dense in the west, and very sparse in the east

OK, it’s not 2016, by 7 days, but I’ve gone through my camera roll and I thought this was the most shareable thing - proof that I was among the first 1,000 people to discover the Beatles.

❌ No New Zealand ❌ Middle East (sort of?) gets an outline but no label ❌ Massive fictional island between Scotland and Norway ❌ Greenland too close to Europe ❌ No Sri Lanka. ✅ Britain looks great!

If you enjoyed the map of English accents we used on the new episode of #MapMen, I highly recommend checking out the original by @starkeycomics.bsky.social which includes bits of Scotland/Wales/NI that we had to chop off. Brilliant article to go with the map too! starkeycomics.com/2023/11/07/m...

If you ever find yourself writing a book, I highly recommend including the sentence “Britain has an unparalleled variety of crisp flavours” so that, at a signing event, a French person can meet you and say “oh no you don’t.” and give you a big bag of pesto and mozzarella flavour crisps.
