Regarding North. I bought a map of the world when I was in New Zealand which had NZ on top of the world. South upwards as it were. Excellent.

Let's not forget, back in the superstitious beginnings of cartography, maps had East to the top, as that was the way to Jerusalem.

The oddest thing I ever heard was that Sheffield United played football.
