I got London and Greater London right.  A few others I hit randomly or just happened to remember seeing them while clicking around randomly

Quiz over. You scored 36 out of 144.
Your score is 25%

25% here as well, and only thanks to going back to ones I clicked earlier.  Sure are a shitload of "shires" in that place.

Most people should be able to do England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.  I think counties in England alone are asking a bit much.

Pretty sure I couldn't even name a state (do they have states?) in England. So I'm not going to hold this against them.

I vaguely know where London is located, but that's about it.

As far as England goes, I can find Wales, Northumberland, a few major cities and that's about it.

I fully admit my stupidity on the subject of English geography. I like Bass Bitter though.

Trick question.  They don't have counties.  They have Shires, you know, like in the Hobbit.

This, too.

I only know enough about the UK to state that it consists of Northern Ireland, Scottland, England, and the Isle of Man. (probably still wrong, too )

Minnesota has counties?  Meh, who cares?

Hell, I can't name all of Ohio's counties.  I know how many we have, I can probably name most many, but I make no claims to being a savant.

I tried the English counties link.  It was bad.

Click on South Cheshire.

Wrong, that's North Cheshire. Try again.

Wrong that's West Cheshire. Try again.  

Wrong. That's Riding Farthings on East Cheshire.
