There are at least two major problems, Saint...
Yes I know
A - Anglesey
I - Isle of Man ... hope it's ok to say them now
Ah, right. You were a little too cryptic for me there, Saint: I thought "AI" meant "Anglesey Island". I had picked the map to show Anglesey missing (which has become a common, local, version of the "New Zealand effect"), but then noticed just before posting that the IoM was missing too.
I can sort-of understand why the Isle of Man sometimes gets left off maps, but the way in which Anglesey is often left off just seems plain weird to me. When I was young, I thought it was just part of the mainland (in the same way that a lot of people don't realise that Portsmouth - or more, accurately, Portsea - is an island), so it seemed doubly strange for it to vanish from maps.
This example - from the Royal Horticultural Society - has got to be the weirdest. Virtually all of Anglesey has disappeared, but they've left Holyhead on!
