Young girl who got Ronaldo's shirt after Portugal game receives fine. Tell me about it - I live in Orpington, Bromley - part of Greater London but people here still think its Kent for some reason. Many London Suburbs such as bromley or havering used to be part of other counties but we transferred to London and it showed that many of them leaned more towards London.

Interesting the English don't seem to learn their counties like the Americans learns their states. Fairly pointless exercise if you ask me, what does anyone gain by knowing all the states in their own country by heart.

When someone says "I'm from Leicestershire" and you as a Briton don't know where it is, then I guess you've got some problems. So true Camus. Maybe it's a question about size.

Good point. Various governments have mucked about with local government so much in the UK now that there's a confusing array of different counties, from the traditional ones, new made up ones made up in the s , ceremonial ones, plus a range of other local authorities. The United States is a federal country, so their subdivisions i.

Our counties arent as significant as your states and government can easily overpower them. We also have various links for example the London Underground extends past Greater London's border That is due to historic reasons though. American: Know a lot from soccer team nicknames. Trying to work out how most of those you listed have anything to do with football teams!

Probably local derbies, not teams i. If you know your New England counties you can just add shire to the end and nail most of them. As an American, I can proudly say that my country fought a war with the British just so I wouldn't have to take this quiz.

Say Quizmaster, the stats seem to be missing. Have you checked how Bristol's looking on the map? Got them all with 28 seconds to spare. It's a pity that the 'REAL' counties of England have been butchered by the bureaucrats into these so called rational areas. Real counties are mostly meaningless, only really Yorkshire and Cornwall are actually different enough for county to be important.

There is nowhere like enough time if we have to write "shire" after each county; we rarely use the whole name when speaking so surely just the county name should suffice?

Do you really never use the "shire"? I've heard Lancs as well, but I don't think it works for all of the counties ending in -shire Leicestershire, Derbyshire, etc. The current answers can be justified as the current set-up, an the map shows the way anyway; - though I'd remove the word 'ceremonial' as I 'think' that refers to the old countries before s.

Ceremonial counties are distinct from traditional counties although some do match. Argh, why do I always forget Shropshire? I also tried Winchestershire, which is really bad as I live in Hampshire Though I did get full marks in the end at least.

Hampshire is named after Southampton which used to be called Hampton before people started adding the South- prefix, to distinguish it from the other Hampton, i. Similarly, the old county town of Wilts was Wilton just outside Salisbury before someone in their wisdom decided Trowbridge gasp! I, btw, am a slow typist. Lancs, Hants, Shrops etc are all used, just not that often in common speech, its used mainly in writing and by the post office.

Tut Tut - Gog Magog Hills - the highest point for many thousands of miles eastwards until you reach the Ural Mountains.

SO , after screwing up cause you were accepting answers before they were complete Out of all the -shires, this is the only one that is not accpeted in "short form" West York.

The autocompleting 'shire' really bugs me. Well, in May I got 15, in September on my second attempt I got Why not put in instructions "For counties ending in -shire, you do not need to include those 5 letters"? Surely you quickly learn that you don't need those letters.

I assume that ceremonial counties means any place that has a Lord Lieutenant. Why can;t we just simply go back to pre It was so much simpler. By the way, I think that historically Bristol has at some time counted as part of Gloucestershire, but never as Somerset.

You get my vote! At first I thought it said countries and I was a bit confused. Living in New England helps on this quiz. That is very offensive. Two West Midland counties have already been mentioned, let's keep the chain! Do you find this quiz too easy? Try Counties of England with an Empty Map. Got 23, more than I expected but still disappointing.

Tons of directional pieces that I missed, also spelling with stuff like Leicestershire. The feeling when some answers are words you've never used before, words that you've probably read only once or twice in your life many years ago without really paying attention to what it refers to, but your brain unconsiously stored them in an obscure part of your memory, and suddenly, years later, as you read the statement of the quiz you're about to take, you don't know why but you want to type those words.

I'm surprised North Yorkshire is the most guessed county. How did you program it so when you typed in say 'Devon' it would light up on your screen in green?
