Almost Maps
Illustrated gift maps of London, Scotland, Norfolk & Yorkshire - containing hundreds of funny sayings.
We've picked sayings you might hear in the street, down the pub, over a neighbour’s fence or watching the local football team. It's all spelt like it's said locally - towns and places too. The hand-drawn art shows famous landmarks, culture or wildlife.
Our London map is a pretty blue and has plenty of Cockney flavour to keep you amused.
The Norfolk map phrases reflect country life, dogs and farming.
The Scotland map is a heather purple and generously illustrated - with phrases reflecting the country's rich dialect.
The Yorkshire map is full of culture, from tea to terriers, with sayings that nod to food, family, friends and football.
This is a unique idea and these are original designs that make great gifts. We like to say the maps speak for themselves. You can buy prints, or with mounts and frames, up to poster sizes.
They are professionally printed, packaged securely and delivered quickly, typically within two working days.
So if you like ‘blowing a monkey down the dogs’ in London, or you're ‘up to high doh’ in Scotland, or know that there's ‘nowt so queer as folk' in Yorkshire, or enjoy ‘loive music on a Foidee noit’ in Norfolk then these maps are for you, your friends and family.
