Maps, and measurements of the World.

Don't get me started on gift shop tea towels, they are about as effective on crockery as Izal is on bums.

Moved into the Cafe as there doesn't seem a particular need for this discussion to be in P&CA.

Please don't prove me wrong by starting on geopolitics now.

I read that the other day, even Syria has signed up to it now. Given that many of the American states have said that they will honour the climate agreement anyway, the white section should just be a few acres in the middle of Washington.
