Cracking maps!

For those who want to just see the individual images:

French: http://i.telegraph.co...-accordi_1720160c.jpg

A Map documenting the tension between Russia and Ukraine during the Gas Row of 2009: http://i.telegraph.co...e-i-live_1720176c.jpg

USA view on Europe: http://i.telegraph.co...-accordi_1720161c.jpg

Apparently this is what the UK see's when they look at a map: http://i.telegraph.co...-accordi_1720172c.jpg

I do like the USA one particularly.

All the best,

Why are we labelled "Mummy"?

[jno]

because (allegedly...) the Americans think of Britain as the mother country.

A trifle implausible, that one.

oh aye yeah, didnt think of that jno...ta!

[jno]

of course, it could be because they think all girls get pregnant at 14 and have antenatal clinics at school
