Surely you should accept either 'east yorkshire' or 'east riding' for east riding of yorkshire (which, might I add, I've never heard it called)

East Riding of Yorkshire is still its official name. When Yorkshire was split into four counties in the mid 1970s the North Riding remained much the same area and was renamed North Yorkshire; the West Riding was split in two to form West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire; and the East Riding remained much the same area and was the only part to keep its original title.

I'm surprised you've never heard it as not only is it referred to as such on anything official, most people in the area still make the distinction and call it the East Riding, rather than East Yorks.

Only 76% know London... Now we look bad! Usually, the English have to guess our states and cities, but now we have the pressure. LOL.

London is not a real county! (I know it is officially but really it isn't!) :)

+1

Level 35

Aug 28, 2021

I'm from London and I don't really blame you. You rarely here about each of the counties as they aren't as independent. Also in America state police can't cross borders. Our police try to stick to their counties but without a doubt chase them cacross borders

+1

Level 66

Nov 12, 2021

Funny you should say that - I live in a Merseyside town and there's a point where you've got a Greater Manchester border just up the road to the left, and a Cheshire border if you turn right. (Meant there was always a local pub open during the Covid tiers!), But I once watched a Merseyside Police car sat hiding, waiting - A GM car came chasing a suspect, crossed the borough then it was the Merseyside cars chase, then likewise as they entered Cheshire they had to stop and hand over the chase - they got away - baffling.

Love this quiz - it's always Berkshire I trip up on, everytime. Would love to see a map version of this, where you have to match the county accurately. And for those missing Middlesex, Wessex etc maybe we should do an historic version one day :-)

I live in Berkshire so its one of the few I can actually get :)

It's funny how there is a Wessex, Middlesex, Essex and Sussex, but no Nossex. Oh, wait - maybe you've got that too, after all!

west saxons; east saxons; middle saxons; south saxons; no room for north saxons as that was where the angles were - eg east anglia -.... yes all right - where are the west angles - no room becasue of the mercians

+2

Level 34

Jun 14, 2012

good one, my typing not so quick, this is more of an "administrative area" list though, as The City of London, Bristol , Greater London, Greater Manchester etc are not counties. Greater London takes up space in the counties of Kent, Surrey, Middlesex, Hertfordshire and Essex...just like Chicago (my favourite holiday destination!) goes into Cook County and DuPage county, but there is no County of Chicago. Some counties do not exist anymore

+12

Level 29

Dec 12, 2012

Bristol has been a county since 1353 and still is today. As a resident of Bristol, my county is always listed as Bristol on my address; there are no other counties it could be listed under. Also, having grown up in the London Borough of Bromley I agree that areas such as this are quite complicated; whilst my postcode was a Kent postcode (TN) and my address listed as Kent, my council was a London council. However there are other boroughs, such as Lewisham where I've also lived, which do not cross into any home counties, so the address is listed under the Greater London county as, like Bristol, there are no other counties it comes under. I can't comment on the other places you mentioned though.

+4

Level 60

Apr 26, 2020

Tell me about it - I live in Orpington, Bromley - part of Greater London but people here still think its Kent for some reason

+2

Level 65

Jul 10, 2020

My address used to be odd, I lived in West Sussex, but the address was 'Near Petersfield, Hampshire' and the postcode was GU so Surrey!

Level 88

Dec 7, 2014

@Jock- Next time you are in Chicago look me up, I'm at 54th & Bishop. Just drive down, get out, and proclaim "I'm on holiday". The men with guns will assist you to my place.

Level 35

Oct 26, 2021

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. London is very much a council like others and although much smaller we very much have strong London patriotism and run exactly like the other council.

Level 40

Jan 5, 2013

Interesting the English don't seem to learn their counties like the Americans learns their states. I aint saying it's wrong. Just interesting.

Level 54

Mar 18, 2013

Fairly pointless exercise if you ask me, what does anyone gain by knowing all the states in their own country by heart

+12

Level 77

May 28, 2014

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.

+1

Level 66

Nov 12, 2021

So true Camus. Someone to an Essex-er : "I'm from Cumbria". "Oh right, I hear it's nice down there".

+3

Level 32

Mar 18, 2013

Maybe it's a question about size. A state in the U.S. can be a state in Europe (by population).

+3

Level 84

Jun 11, 2014

Good point. Notice for instance the several comments on the recent California counties quiz left by Californians who claim to have gotten fewer than half the answers right. England and California have comparable population sizes.

Level 59

Apr 12, 2017

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 1970s), ceremonial ones, plus a range of other local authorities. Very often, huge lumps of one county have been taken from one county and added to another at the whim of some government official. All in all, it's very confusing and it's no wonder people don't care much these days about counties (with a few exceptions, like Yorkshire).

+4

Level 76

Jul 24, 2020

The United States is a federal country, so their subdivisions (i.e. states) are of greater significance than counties in England.

+1

Level 35

Oct 26, 2021

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)

Fixed. I originally got the map from Wikipedia. I've since made my own, which doesn't have the Bristol "appendage".

So many -shires.

Level 71

May 24, 2015

It's a pity that the 'REAL' counties of England have been butchered by the bureaucrats into these so called rational areas. Tradition shouldn't be left to red-tape handlers in London.

+2

Level 60

Jun 21, 2020

Real counties are mostly meaningless, only really Yorkshire and Cornwall are actually different enough for county to be important. For everyone else, being Northern/Midlands/Southern is enough.

+1

Level 71

Dec 23, 2020

I'd bet your a Londoner!

+1

Level 44

Jun 1, 2015

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?

+1

Level 50

Jul 22, 2015

I agree about shire, but I still managed the lot!

+3

Level 81

Sep 6, 2015

Do you really never use the "shire"? Do you say North York, then, or just Hereford when referring to the county? I have never heard anyone do this.

+2

Level 75

Aug 1, 2016

Generally just add an s to the end: Yorks, Herts, Berks, etc.

+2

Level 81

Sep 17, 2017

^ Weird. I've never heard anyone do that, only seen it written.

+1

Level 61

Oct 9, 2020

I've heard Lancs as well, but I don't think it works for all of the counties ending in -shire (Leicestershire, Derbyshire, etc.)

+2

Level 66

Nov 12, 2021

Ah yes Cheshire, famous for being called Chesh... Or even just Che.

+1

Level 33

Aug 1, 2015

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 1970s

+1

Level 59

Apr 12, 2017

Ceremonial counties are distinct from traditional counties (although some do match). Cumberland and Westmoreland are two traditional counties, but they are not ceremonial counties. Check out the link to the Wikipedia article used as a source for this quiz, it explains what these counties actually are.

+1

Level 81

Sep 6, 2015

Argh, why do I always forget Shropshire? I look at the alphabetical list and can't think of anything to come between Rutland and Somerset and spend far too long wondering if Salisburyshire is a county.

+1

Level 81

Sep 9, 2015

...And this time I got Shropshire but forgot Wiltshire. The made-up county that sprang to mind this time was Winchestershire.

+2

Level 35

Apr 26, 2016

I also tried Winchestershire, which is really bad as I live in Hampshire... Though I did get full marks in the end at least

+2

Level 59

Apr 12, 2017

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.e. Northampton).

+1

Level 75

Apr 28, 2019

Similarly, the old county town of Wilts was Wilton (just outside Salisbury) before someone in their wisdom decided Trowbridge (gasp!) was more appropriate

+1

Level 64

Sep 15, 2015

yikes, the auto-shire enhancement really messed me up. I usually end with 2 minutes left but barely finished in time with all the shires popping in at the front of each county name. Is Lancashire really called "Lanc" by anyone or are we to see it as abbreviation for slow typists? (I, btw, am a slow typist)

+1

Level 35

Apr 26, 2016

Lancs, Hants, Shrops etc are all used, just not that often in common speech, its used mainly in writing and by the post office

+1

Level 59

Apr 12, 2017

The Royal Mail don't bother with any counties or local authority names in official addresses anymore.

Feb 22, 2016

Agree. Or put "City of London" in with the Ls.

Level 68

Feb 7, 2016

southyork is all you need to type in for south yorkshire, but westyork doesn't work?

+1

Level 67

Feb 26, 2016

Some oddities. Needed Wiltshire for Wiltshire, but only Berk for stuff like Berkshire. Needed West Yorkshire, but not the shire for East, North and South, etc.

+1

Level 28

Jun 1, 2016

Shouldn't 'Telford and Wrekin' be included

Level 79

Aug 1, 2016

It's a unitary authority, not a county.

Level 71

Aug 1, 2016

SO , after screwing up cause you were accepting answers before they were complete...i.e. -shire, and having to erase constantly, why is it that West Yorkshire has to be input all they way? Out of all the

-shires, this is the only one that is not accpeted in "short form" (West York)

+1

Level 67

Aug 5, 2016

YUS! Got them all. West Midlands was the last one...!

+1

Level 28

Aug 25, 2016

The autocompleting 'shire' really bugs me. You shouldn't get the answer/point for just writing "Che", or even "Gloucester"

I keep forgetting Staffordshire!

Level 80

Mar 21, 2018

Level 83

Sep 19, 2016

Well, in May I got 15, in September on my second attempt I got 48. Rather pleased with that improvement.

+1

Level 64

Oct 16, 2016

I got 15. Pretty good for an American, although I should probably know more.

+2

Level 18

Nov 19, 2016

Why can't they spell the WHOLE name out. Much annoyed with the laziness. I type so fast that i can't flow into next county because I have to delete the ending of the last.

+2

Level 61

Dec 30, 2016

A bit of a pain, yes, but once you get the first part of the shires, you know it.

+1

Level 59

Nov 27, 2016

Why not put in instructions "For counties ending in -shire, you do not need to include those 5 letters"? Might make a lot of people happier.

+1

Level 59

Nov 23, 2017

Surely you quickly learn that you don't need those letters. Or did you just spend all the time typing out "shire" umpteen times?

May 12, 2018

I assume that ceremonial counties means any place that has a Lord Lieutenant. Otherwise I have difficulty in east and West Sussex and NOT Lindsey; Kesteven and Holland.

Why can;t we just simply go back to pre 1974 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

+2

Level 59

May 1, 2019

You get my vote! Bring back the pre-'74 counties (they had been around for a 1,000 years before then, some much longer). As someone who is from Sussex, it pains me to type out East Sussex and West Sussex.

Living in New England helps on this quiz. I guessed a bunch of counties and towns from New England and a lot of them were there. It's also nice that it gave them without adding shire.

can you add a type in so when you write warkwick it will count as warwick? The wikipedia source is wrong, i know, but people reading it and taking the quiz can get muddled up in confusion.

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. You start the quiz, you're full of doubts but your fingers start typing anyway, and, surprisingly, the score goes +1.

The only counties that matter are the 39 historic counties. Ceremonial counties are nonsense.

American who managed 15

Cambridge/Oxfordshire - universities

Cheshire - Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland

Cornwall - based on location and reading a bit about Celtic culture/language/history of the place

Devon - I actually thought it was called "Devonshire"...

Essex - I have heard the accent on YouTube. Plus there is a county with the same name in Massachusetts

Gloucester/Leicester/Worcestershire - Remembered based on long names

Greater Manchester - Just typed in "Manchester"

Hampshire - Assumed this would exist based on New Hampshire

Isle of Wight - Remembered because I think I have heard that Brits like to holiday here

Kent - This one comes up a lot when reading about England. I assumed it must've been wealthy suburban London for that reason

North Yorkshire - typed in Yorkshire b/c Wuthering Heights

Nottinghamshire - Sherriff of Nottingham of Robin Hood

Personally i think York shouldn’t be a type-in for Yorkshire, Yorkshire is a series of counties while York is simply a city.

Or the Ceremonial Counties of all of the UK

Since both Greater London and City of London come up when you type "London", shouldn't both North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire come up when you type "Yorkshire"?

I'm American though so let me know if this is intentional.
