The Caucasus too.  :P

Stop discriminating against Caucasians (Caucasoids?:D), this reeks of a crypto virtue signaling jab at "white privilege".   :P

North of the Caucasus is fine actually. Though nowadays, Lesser Caucasus in included as well so that would make Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan part of geographic Europe (cultural being another matter).

Or we could go back to the good ole Tanais/Don river limit, pre-Peter the Great.

Russia is pretty cheap.

Including Turkey, and not Russia, is indeed very cheap.  :P

The map includes Russia, even if all we're told is that it's less than $1.

Well he had fallen on hard times. I've seen his work on some really beat up non-glamorous buildings in Stockholm.

It looked high to me too. I don't have a smartphone so I asked my wife how much her contract cost; £12 per month and that includes 8Gb data allowance plus unlimited calls and texts. So I guess that maybe if you buy 1Gb on a pay-as-you-go basis its £5................or the map is wrong  :mellow:

At this point in time I'd be disappointed if you did. :P

Further exciting data from the UK on phone costs; my eldest pays £20 a month and has unlimited data.

@Syt....I may buy one next year; my youngest will move out some time in the next year and when he does I will be free. I'm going to need a fancy phone for my travels  :cool:

I get 2gb for £8. I'm sure I shopped around quite a lot and it was one of the better options. There must be some catch with these others?

My bundle comes with 10Gb of mobile Internet for €50, but it also includes cable internet and a landline that I've never used.

They are monthly contracts, service only, they both bought their phones outright.

Just read a piece... Apparently its a trend amongst MAGA types in the US to post pictures of themselves pointing a gun at their crotch to prove how good they are with a gun :blink:
