I also want a volume on travel arrangements over time. This is glossed over. For example, how would you know how to get from Stamford Bridge to Hastings in 1066. It can go wrong these days with satnav.

It will clearly note that the traditional boundary between Northamptonshire and Huntingdonshire lies on the river south of Peterborough.

One difference is those areas do at least seem to take safety seriously! It's incredible AI bods can casually say there is a xx percentage chance of killing everyone and then do nothing about it.

But similar to nuclear weapons, or some medical areas, surely?

@martingillie.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 7:00 PM

Well I lit him right and am still feeling quite smug! He was a bit of a fool, really

Did he? Bhutanese royalty walked off when I answered the door in Edinburgh (true story!) Anyway, Bhutan and Thimbu was my correct answer to "name and Asian country and its capital" in a Year 3 geography test. AND THE TEACHER SAID IT WAS WRONG!!!!!

@martingillie.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 6:38 PM

Do you know the capital of Bhutan?

@martingillie.bsky.socialOct 10, 2026, 6:38 PM

Well it's a science thing (I think alimentary canal is too - although that could be a water supply system in Chad, I forget.)
