Weetabix wipes Anglesey from the map

[snopes]

Weetabix, the cereal company, has upset the Welsh island of Anglesey by wiping it from a map of Britain during a competition campaign.

To be fair, almost all of Scotland is wiped off. I'm fairly certain some of the landmarks on the map aren't quite that big in reality either...

The imagery used on the Weetabix 'Win a Million' packaging is an artist's impression and not an exact replica of a map of the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.

I'd never have guessed.

Where's Mersea Island then? Or Lundy? And what did the Isle of Wight do to get included?

"This is not the first time this has happened. It may seem small but maybe it highlights that Anglesey does often get ignored in this country."

Poor old Anglesey. They've not marked Ipswich either, though.

To be fair the map does look quite wrong without it. I like the fact that the Telegraph's circle, to highlight the problem, is in the wrong place though. Only half of Anglesey would be in that... it's significantly too far east.

Parkhurst maximum security prison. You don't mess with the locals down there boyo.
