Description
Followed up byThe United Kingdom and Ireland in glorious text!!
This was made as a full size poster for my girlfriend for her birthday recently. It's also cleverly signed as I found two places with my forename and surname!!
WORD!
Woo a DD, my first! What a great way to wake up, this explains why there's loads of messages waiting in my inbox! Many thanks to for suggesting it and for featuring it! Inspired by this map of the shipping forecast [link]
Many thanks for all your nice comments.

OMG THIS IS THE COOLEST THING EVER!
You didn't just get the shape of it, you got all the complicated little border details and islands. This inspires me to do one for the U.S. but... I'm not even going to explain how that would turn out. ;>_>
You have serious talent! Go the United Kingdom! And Ireland of course!
Greetings from the states.

Thank you, praise indeed! That would be cool to see one of the states, but wow, that'd be a LOT of place names!! Don't envy you giving that a go, but would love to see it.

Being a gift, some places I HAD to put in, which meant others couldn't make it!

Impressive, and all the places seem to be in roughly the right places as well, which makes it even more so. Personally I'd have gone with Worcester rather than Tewkesbury though, being a city and all.

Gregatron In reply to VAngelLJ [2011-10-02 00:55:04 +0000 UTC]
Well some places I HAD to put in so it meant more to my girlfriend, which meant some places couldn't be fit in!

Wow, I live right by Saltburn so I was looking over that bit of the map and I didn't even notice it was there! Shows how observant I am.

Yeah, some places look like they should be bigger, whilst some should be smaller, all I can say is Edinburgh got in the way!!
