Looking at an upside-down map can make you see things you've been trained all your life not to to notice. Have a little stare at this. What stands out for you? Is anything closer or bigger or wonkier than it normally looks to you on a "normal" map?

My husband has since fallen down a rabbit hole on videoes about the Tube. He's become a nicer but also a more boring person as a result. I'm not sure if I prefer him doing no washing up or hearing why the Tube wasn't extended past Edgware to Bushey Heath as he cleans the plates

My HS2 prediction: The government will commit to Euston but scrap Manchester. They just want to scare us that they might scrap Euston (which EVERYONE understands is staggeringly stupid) so that when they “only” scrap Manchester, we all think “Oh well that’s not so bad then.”

My theory: If you tilt Britain about 30 degrees to the right, it's a truer reflection of where we culturally intuit cities to be in relation to each other. Manchester "west" of Edinburgh, Birmingham "north" of Norwich, etc. i.e. North North West is Britain's True North.

How is “losing the whip” a punishment? You get to keep your job in parliament, but with the freedom to vote however you like! Parties don’t actually have any power to sack MPs. Yet another reminder that the whole system is just gestures and symbolism and that rheeeeeeerrrr noise.

Do you live in (or can you think of) a city where people COMMUTE using BOATS? 1. There have to be multiple destinations, not a single route. (So the Staten Island Ferry doesn’t count.) 2. It can’t just be a sightseeing tourist attraction - has to be a reasonable daily commute.
