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

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

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

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

One I missed was the West Midlands, which I thought was a region.

First time I ever did this one I insisted Humberside was a county not realizing it had changed to East Yorkshire. LOL

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