Bah. Imagine there was an edit tool, and I've put the word "thousand" where it belongs.

Something's off here. People must be getting their Nowhere Man somewhere else.

Really, Beatle fans? Michelle two and half times better than Nowhere Man?

Spotify plays for Rubber Soul Super Deluxe. Nowhere Man has 83,349. Michelle has 206,100,084.

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.

All the information is in the credits.* *hidden in a datablast at the end of the episode where you have to use the pause button a lot.

Legoland, 2007: Boss: “Bad news, lads. The enormous lego model of the Eurostar terminal at Waterloo in lego London with little trains going to lego Paris has gone out of date.” Model railway guy: “On it…”

Legoland. Big Lego model of London with big Lego model of Waterloo station

Any native Irish speakers fancy getting in touch and helping us quickly translate/pronounce something? 🇮🇪

Maybe that’s precisely their intention, but they’re calling it a “finale” to make us watch / write about it? Like when a band does a “farewell tour”

Ooh! Wonder if that’s why it’s in the pub it’s in.

Their worst crime was burying an absolute banger like Hey Bulldog where no one would ever find it. BUT ALSO, that’s one of the best things about it! A free extra Beatles song, waiting dormant for more than 30 years before becoming one of their most popular songs.

Yes they are! Can you send us a quick DM so I can tell you what’s involved?

Hello! We’re doing a thing for the next episode of Map Men. We need someone who speaks both Mandarin AND Cantonese. Is that you? If so, please get in touch!

BlueSky won't let me. You DM first!

Yaaaaay!!! Congrats! If we all unsubscribe and then subscribe again, do you pass 1 million twice and get two trophies?

Jay Foreman @jayforeman.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I ask myself that too. I never made a conscious decision to quit songwriting, but it just hasn’t come up in the last few years since my time (and brain) became fully dedicated to YouTube. Maybe one day I’ll write new songs. But nothing in the pipeline for now.

Excellent news that this is a thing! So so many brilliant people in this!!!

“Dinner table” a thing. “Breakfast table” a thing. “Lunch table” … not really a thing..?

Happy to be wrong about this. Thanks for all the replies. Turns out, the name change isn’t actually *official* yet. So it’s hard to see Google rushing to change their maps as anything other than enthusiastic support for Trump. Pathetic all round.

Blaming Google Maps for going along with Trump’s pathetic Lake America name change is like blaming your phone for displaying it.

Tantalisingly cuts out between Apex Corner and South Harrow - the very section of the journey I’d want to see every bit of!

My wife and I still say “it’s made of PAPER!” any time either one of us says the word “paper”.

Does any other borough apart from Havering have its own self-contained railway?

@geofftech.bsky.social Have you still got that list of great people who are reassuringly still alive?

This took me ages to realise too. And that might be because I grew up in, what turns out, according to this map, to be the ONLY part of the country (north west London) where roads can begin with pretty much any number.

The answer to both is the B-side instrumental version of We All Stand Together.

This is a brilliant game! I’ve done it a few times on long drives. Lots of fun in groups with varying music tastes.

No, but I love this idea! Thanks for the recommendation!

Spotify should have an option where the next song is based only on the previous song, so playlists gradually drift wildly off course.

To be fair, Hastings does sound rather a lot like a London borough. It sits right at home with no fewer than five other borough that start with the letters HA. Also, these days, Hastings basically behaves like an outpost of London anyway.

Oooh! Good spot! My guess, without looking it up, is that the boundary predates the reservoir and it used to be a squiggly river.

Mba'éichapa! 🇵🇾 We need someone who speaks Guarani to help us write a sketch in the next episode of Map Men. If that’s you please get in touch!
