National Trust
Explore the United Kingdom as never before with strange-but-true mapping which plots British preoccupations and quirks. Drawing on statistical data, discover that Liverpool prefers salt and vinegar crisps while Leeds likes ready salted. How do different areas pronounce ‘scone’? Which regions boast the addresses Dull and Curry Mallet? With over 55 diagrammatic themed maps, each is annotated to reveal intriguing UK facts, from the rainiest and spookiest places; to the most complex roundabouts and oldest pubs; areas which boast the most Morris Dancing teams and garden centres, and much more arcane wisdom besides! Themed chapters explore places, heritage, food and drink, plants and animals, weather, transport, and lifestyle and hobbies. A fun and funny insight into British character with facts so silly you’ll be bursting to share them.
