Sorry for shouting in the message heading just now. It’s a bit early in the morning for shouting. I just wanted to grab your attention and let you know that the new episode of Map Men is now finished and you should watch it right now.

Well, I *SAY* “right now”... you can watch it whenever you like. No pressure. Have your breakfast first. But before Monday afternoon, otherwise you’ll be watching it at the same time as the non-Patreon riff-raff.

I *SAY* “finished”… it’s only as finished as you want it to be. What that means is, because you are my special patrons and I respect and admire you, you get to nit-pick and tell me stuff in the episode we’ve got wrong that should (and can) be changed to your liking before the video goes fully public on Monday. Eg. A scene that needs better colour correcting, a spelling mistake, a factual error, a mispronounced name, bit of bad floaty green screen, etc. You lovely people always spot un-lovely things I wasn’t able to spot, and this has now become a time-honoured tradition of the upload process that I’m incredibly grateful for.

Speaking of grateful, I am so so SO grateful for your continued support here on Patreon. I don’t have words for how grateful I am. So, I shall demonstrate my gratitude through the medium of dance….

*leaps up into the air, both arms up, jazz hands
*leaps back down, arms follow down gracefully afterwards
*very straightened leg sweeps round the floor anticlockwise
*head moves into the up position in four sharp movements
*all limbs flail wildly for ten uncomfortable seconds
*repeat

Many thanks indeed and speak soon and hope you enjoy the episode and many thanks,

Jay / Uncle Jay (delete as appropriate)

Why British cities make no sense (PATREON)

Surfshark URL coming soon. Why is Reading, a massive settlement of 170,000 people, NOT a city, while the tiny Welsh village of St Davids IS a city? Is it something to do with cathedrals? Or universities? Or is it a surprisingly simple answer which only raises more questions about how city status works in the UK, and merits a ten minute video? (No, no, and yes.)

That teaser about there not being a Northern Ireland flag... does this indicate the future existence of an episode of Flag Men?!

Hi Asaf. Sorry for delayed reply - just saw this. No, we're not doing an episode specifically about Northern Ireland, but there IS an episode coming later in this series that may mention Northern Ireland's lack of flag for a second time. So keep an eye out for that. In the meantime, to find out more about why Northern Ireland has no flag, I highly recommend this video from CGP Grey. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/gaQwC5QbLeQ

Thank you for another video, seriously I think I'm learning more about the UK than I ever had during my school years. As we barely say anymore in Maine...WICKED!
