2025-10-12 22:54:59 +0000 UTCI'm originally from the West Midlands, and grew up near a road called Three Shires Oak Road, because before the West Midlands existed there was an oak there that marked the border of Shropshire, Staffordshire and Worcestershire. As Birmingham became a major hub of the industrial revolution, and grew exponentially from a hamlet to the countries second biggest city, it ended up sprawling across the county borders, and so the new county West Midlands was made.

2025-10-12 18:35:18 +0000 UTCI do like the Map Men! If I go anywhere in the UK I say I’m from Essex, and if I go anywhere abroad I say I’m from London. And that seems to keep the disgust at bay for most circumstances!

2025-10-12 08:46:44 +0000 UTCLove Map Men! To be even more pedantic regarding their acronym joke, VPN isn’t an acronym either! It's an initialism. Acronyms are said as actual words, like RADAR and NASA, not individual letters like SAS and... VPN. 😉🙏
