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.

❌ 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!

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.

@jonnelledge.bsky.social Hooray! Both our books are in today’s Times.
1. Sorry the photo’s cropped. My dad whatsapped it to me.
2. The typo might be good news if it means Times readers get ten more borders than they were expecting.
