I got 12 and I've never been even close to "the pond." And I should've gotten 4 more. Much better than I expected. I'm not at all good with European geography (though UK is probably the part of Europe I do best). :D

I figured in England a town beginning with q had to have queen in it, then that was an easy jump to remembering the Marquess of Queensbury rules. (Only later did I discover I was thinking of Marquess of Queensberry, but spelling it wrong - thank goodness.)

Jarrow is in County Durham. "Tyne and Wear" is just made up and has no geographical standing whatsoever.

Tyne and Wear is a metropolitan county that was brought into being in 1974. Not sure why anyone felt the need to introduce more counties or move towns from one to another, but it does exist.

A very good quiz. I have one comment on the picture, however. It is probably supposed to be of Oxford (cf. the "city of dons" hint), but it shows the chapel of Peterhouse college in Cambridge. Could you perhaps change it, Quizmaster?

Anyone who travels regularly down the A303 to the west country would know it because you pass through it. But otherwise, I agree. However, Zed? or Zee as they say across the pond. It's a hard one to find a clue to fit.

Nice to do a UK based quiz after just seeing a vigorous debate about the quizzes here being too strongly based on the US. (Don't know if Jarrow is big enough to be called a town, though!)

I would have thought Jarrow was pretty well known because of Bede and the Jarrow Crusade. But then I missed Fishguard and that's currently at the same percentage, so I guess not!

We do have universities other than Oxford. There are dons in (say) Cambridge too. If you ask me, Oxford's just overrated...
