Can you name all the counties?

Can you name all the counties without looking them up?

The Americans learn about all 50 states at school ... but we never really learn all that much about Britain, do we?

Do you even know how many counties there are in England? In Wales? In Scotland? In Northern Irelans?

 

how many counties are there? we have hundreds in the u.s.

 

I don't even know ... and I think that's my point!

Let's see ... in England there are:

Avon
Bedfordshire
Berkshire
Buckinghamshire
Cambridgeshire
Cheshire
Cornwall
Cumbria
Devon
Dorset
East Sussex
Essex
Gloucestershire
Hampshire
Herefordshire
Hertfordshire
Kent
Lancashire
Leicestershire
Lincolnshire
Norfolk
Northamptonshire
Nottinghamshire
Oxfordshire
Somerset
Staffordshire
Suffolk
Surrey
Warwickshire
West Sussex
Wiltshire
Worcestershire
Yorkshire

That's 33. But I was sure that there are about 36. Just can't remember what the others are ...

I can remember the ones they abolished in the 1970s, though ... Huntingdonshire, Rutland, Westmorland, Cumberland, Northumberland

 

You Omitted The County Of "Durham", That's Where My

Rello's Came From In 1852....



Cheers Glen.

 

OK ... County Durham ... so that's 34

Any more for any more??

 

You know what there's that many in just California, and we still got 49 more states. nvm im too drunk to even attempt this.

 

:2thumbsup:......



Cheers Glen.

 

Yep

England ... Ireland ... Scotland ... Wales ... and Mainland Europe :mickey:

 

That's cheating, you didn't name them all, "Mainland Europe" is no more a country then Asia, or Africa.

 

can anyone name the seven dwarves?

 

There are 58 counties in California alone

 

3,033 Counties in America.

 

The real question is can you name the only county that matters?

If you said Yorkshire, tha's spot on. Champion.

 

hmmm, dopey, sleepy, joker, flaco.....*draws blank*

 

Beebs-you didn't mention Tyne & Wear,West Midlands,the Scilly Isles or that beauteous conurbation 'Greater London',which due to having a unitary authority is now considered a county. [I know,babe. But shhh-keep your head down,say nothing]

 

Why were these scrapped?

I honestly wouldn't have any idea if I were put on the spot and asked to name the counties. Is it important do you feel? I think I have a pretty good grasp of UK geography thanks to my love of maps and football! But I guess that's more of a town and city thing.

 

it's a crying shame they scrapped Middlesex :bigcry:
even though there's still a Middlesex County Cricket Club :2thumbsup:

 

Are the Scilly Isles a separate county?

I thought they counted as part of Cornwall, same as the Isle of Wight counts as part of Hampshire, Lindisfarne counts as part of Northumberland (ooooh ... does Northumberland still exist??) and Lundy counts as part of anywhere that'll have it

 

Weybridge
