I like to think that this map of all the regional names for woodlice in the UK could also be a map illustrating the new tribes of humans to be found on the same landmass after The Great Digital Crash and ensuing breakdown of society.

For those who may be interested, there's a link to watch Manchán and Ruán Magan's 2003 docudrama on the life of their grandmother Sighle Humphreys here. Presented by Manchán. I haven't seen any of Manchán early travel documentaries, they are surely a great watch.

'Agricultural Ireland' magazine, which was published monthly from 1941 to 1963. This bunch of approx. 45 issues all date from the 1940s & offer a fascinating insight into agricultural practice in Ireland during 'The Emergency' & postwar period. The adverts really are a social history in themselves.
