With this map, you can lay the Roman Empire over any part of the world, to see how big it was in comparison to that part of the world.

You just drag the map of the world, on the right, around, to do it.

Bigger than Australia. gasp

Around the same size as China. gasp

Similar in size to Canada. gasp

I don't know what that 'H' word even means. But, curious as I am to the geographical/radioactive connection, something tells me I might be best off being completely naive and never finding out.

It's p*rnographic manga or anime.

Often with a distinctly unsavoury undercurrent.

I'm definitely a "tea" person, so the map is correct for me as a West Midlander. As a child "dinner" was the midday meal, though I tend to call it "lunch" these days.

It looks like people don't even have a word for it in the Highlands. hmm

I call it supper.

I call it tea - even when it's the main meal of the day and is a big cooked thing.

Midday meal is dinner except when I'm in a work context where I call it lunch so as to fit in.

That map is a bit misleading, because these are class distinction rather than regional ones.

I would only use supper to describe an unusually late tea, after 7.30 say, like if I'd been driving all day and got in late.
