Thanks to my friend Paul in England for this interesting map of the world. When people figure out that I hail from England and not Australia, I often tell them that we Brits are quite proud of the fact that most of the ills of the world can somehow be traced to us. After all we have spent a lot of time invading countries and trying to convert them to playing cricket and drinking tea out of small, thin, china cups. The white bits on this map show all the countries that the English haven't invaded. Pretty impressive I think. But there's still time!
Based around the column "Trevor's Travels" published each Sunday in the San Bernardino Sun, with some detours along the way.
