­Long may she rake in the ten-baggers!, O Numerically Bullish One.
Mapping is a veddy British thing ... in honour of your post i opened here an Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 map of the southwest corner of the Lakes District, Haile to Grasmere, Ravenglass to Coniston ... bought for its clear depiction of the various paths and stone fences and topography of Sca Fell, it was found wanting only in that it did not adequately prepare the rambler for the tea-time ill humour of the publican at Boot. Mapping has been British a long time - only when Vancouver returned from meeting with Bodega y Quadra were there publicly available quality maps of this area in which you and i hang out.

win.tue.nl - [never mind that this is a Nederlands site, let's not get into that, lol]

Now if the concept could be expanded to a planetary focus [and perhaps a GEM IPO could assist in that process], to include other islands of various sizes spanning the globe, then truly it may once more be said that 'The sun never sets on britmappingempire.com '.

Could it be useful to email Lord Fellowes the urls to this thread and its first posts?
... seriously ... he sounds like an open-minded and forward-thinking individual.

Sorry i lost track of your thread - Subject 33608
.. found for it a couple of interesting posts by and to Patrick Slevin, i'll dig them up later, they serve to reinforce my point that the world is a whole lot more connected than it thinks it is ... one post reminded me of the demographer's truism that it can be statistically proven that the great majority of North Americans carry the genes of Edward the Confessor. Now you may bring up the possibility that he himself carried the genes of Alejandro Magno, of course you could ... and indeed it would make for fine argument, lol ... cheers
