Even if we don't end up winning the Euro football championship, ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ is the walkability winner.

I recently came across this enthusiastic in-depth analysis of a completely unknown and (to us) normal train station somewhere in the province. No sports event will ever make me feel as patriotic as this video.

This is fantastic. Utterly fantastic. Why can't we all have this stuff? Honestly, I feel like the modern vikings taking over the UK would be great.

We've done it before..

Though the Angles and Saxons get all the credit, there's a lot of Frisian heritage there too.

Thank you, I enjoyed this map a lot.

the nordics win walkability because we just do not give a fuck and will walk anywhere, i have seen parents with a baby in a stroller going for a walk in the middle of nowhere with cars whizzing past at 60 km/h
