bickster Posted March 13, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm not posting this because of what it precicesly shows but more because it may give some validity to the claims of highest point until you hit the Urals claimed by various hills in the Midlands such as Barr Beacon and Great Malvern mentioned in other threads recently by (I think) @HanoiVillanand @snowychapamongst others 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not making it up: when the great wave of emigration from Ulster and SW Scotland crossed the ocean in the mid-18th century, the existing colonial elite (East Anglian in New England, South West/Midlands in Philadelphia, various younger sons of Anglo/Anglo-Norman nobility from Maryland south) all strongly suggested that the newly-arrived Borderlanders go inland to the hills to drink whiskey, live in poverty, fight each other and the natives, follow itinerant preachers, and shag their relatives. The new arrivals were more than OK with that arrangement. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different projections of the same underlying facts simplify answering different questions (true of any means of organizing/presenting/transmitting information). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motorway services has a 5th Greggs and my office is directly across the road, from a 6th Greggs. Was this map released by the Russian military? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 American's geographical ignorance is very embarrassing and depressing. If you lack fundamental knowledge of geography, how can you understand much of anything political, historical, cultural, etc. Geography is foundational to understanding humanity and the planet.
