How can you not know the counties in your own country? :nono:

I tried this but I'm not sure what the names of your counties are, I thought Liverpool and Birmingham etc were counties but obviously they're not, I'd be pretty confident I'd get 100% of Irish counties right though :laugh:

I spent ages arguing with it that things like Yorkshire was a county though...I didn't realise that north, south etc were their own counties, I'm sure they never used to be ....grrrr :laugh:

I only got 16. If it were a test on cities I think I would've done much better.

a mixture of fear of the north and general ambivalence towards the rest :idc:

knowing your way around England would be like buying a map of arista's arse... just full of irrelevant crap.

LOL

Theres also one for historical counties which is probably what most people would remember from their school days.
