but.... theres a fat bit at the top where it says newcastle...


but Sunderland is much more populated... its the most populated city between Birmingham and Edinburgh iirc... so it should really say Sunderland not Newcastle :p


(even if no-one south of Leeds has ever heard of it)

Sunderland? its barely a town, more like a village tbh :mutley:

Meh, tis hardly news. 15 years figuring  out how  to do this? Its  called a  program called Surfer and the process is called a classified post map. If  you gave me a week to get  the  data and  a day to run  the   program it would be doable.

well, the classified map would be well more useful, showing the population etc on geographic boundaries, rather than this kind  of map which offers hardly any useful info.

Like a picture of once body if pictured after how much nerves and feeling each part has, big hands, big tongue etc.

Quote from: Eddlooks cool tho, right? :D

Looks cool but I still cant figure out how the hell it could be of any use. Its something that will fall in the category of unecessary pie charts and line charts which show no useful information. There are much, much better ways of portraying this form of information in an informative and clear manner.
