On the basis of the "Vikings in Maine" story, I think this demonstrates the Carthaginians visited Leeds.

Never happen round our way - the buses only accept cashless payment.

Elephants can be VERY persuasive, Nick.

After Brexit and austerity, Carthaginian currency is now legal tender in the UK alongside the Roman sesterce.
