Excellent quiz idea, lacking a little in execution. Bath and NE Somerset, North Somerset and Isles of Scilly are not ceremonial counties and including them (especially Scilly) opens a can of worms. City of London and Merseyside are ceremonial counties, but aren't here. Standard type-ins of other English county quizzes wouldn't go amiss either.
