Yugoslav map of Britain & Ireland from the 1980s, with English place names amusingly rendered phonetically to reflect their pronunciation.
Credit: Reddit user TheKingMonkey who explains the maps origins:
"From a display on the wall of the ‘Museum of the 80s’ in Sarajevo, Bosnia. I’m not sure why I like the Serbo-Croat (or at least that’s what I assume it is) names for the cities as they look like they are almost phonetic attempts at English language pronunciations."

Once again the broader context of shared EU membership as a way of equalising & improving UK/Ireland relations seems something taken for granted by too many in the pre - Brexit years.

Realised when walking around the Fleadh: Belfast has a median age of 36, which means that the majority of the population has no memory of what Belfast was like before the 1994 ceasefires.
