Monsieur Roast Beef

LEGEND
1. ‘ROAST BEEF’
is what the French call the English because that’s what we like to eat.
2. FOSTER’S
This is what I drank when I went to the south of France when I was 17. It was ugly.
3. WINE BOTTLES Little competition: how many wine bottles are on the map? How long would it take a French person to drink them? (I reckon about a week.) How long for an English person? (About four hours, with an hour’s break.) Notice how empty bottles of cheap wine have washed up on the northern French coast from England.
