Yugoslav map of Britain & Ireland from the 1980s, with English place names amusingly rendered phonetically to reflect their pronunciation.
Credit: Reddit user TheKingMonkey who explains the maps origins:
"From a display on the wall of the ‘Museum of the 80s’ in Sarajevo, Bosnia. I’m not sure why I like the Serbo-Croat (or at least that’s what I assume it is) names for the cities as they look like they are almost phonetic attempts at English language pronunciations."

First govt to institute mass public beatification, walkability (coupled with large expansion of integrated public transport links) and support for community/local/worker-owned shops with crackdown on dodgy businesses has the mandate of the Lord Himself
