Ashamed to say this is all I can get

I'm not certain on the home counties, I think Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire might be the wrong way round?

Why don't the English know their counties?

>>66702283
>London
Not a county, but Greater London is
>Suffix
It's spelled "Sussex", and there's two of them - West Sussex and East Sussex
>Winchester
That's a city in Hampshire
>Gloucester
That's a city, but yes Gloucestershire is the county

>>66702447
There's two Sussexes, East and West

>>66702533
Middlesex doesn't exist anymore, it's within Greater London now

Also Yorkshire is divided into four - North, South, East and West

>>66702577
Sussex is East and West

Same as what I said about about Yorkshire - there's four Yorkshires

>>66702625
There's four Yorkshires for each compass point

Two Sussexes too

I don't know, I think it's sad that British schools don't teach the counties anymore

I know all 50 states off by heart, I can name them all on a map in under two minutes

Yet I don't know all the counties. I know most of them but there's a few I don't.

That's why I'm trying get better and learn them all.

none

They're not pronounced like that

"Gloss-ter-sheer"

"Chesh-eer"

That's how it should be

I will do the ceremonial counties without cheating, using the sporcle quiz:

http://www.sporcle.com/games/g/englandgeocounties

I got 42/48, d'oh! I had previously known them all.

I missed: Durham, Derbyshire, Leicestershire (that damn-cheese one!), Northamptonshire, Hampshire, Bedfordshire.

>>66702772

>not knowing Bristol
>missing the City

...nigga.

I kept missing Wiltshire but then I realized that Stonehenge is there. Now I have something "real" to connect the place with, so I don't forget it anymore. :^D

Can one of you bingy-bongs explain why the modern government has more county-thingies than the "real" counties, and why the "real" counties are called the "ceremonial" counties?

It's autistic af

There are two Sussexes

>>66707233
Wessex doesn't exist (it did many years ago)
Sussex is two counties - west and east
Lancaster is a town, Lancashire is the county
It's Greater London (and the City of London too)
There's Northumberland and Cumbria, but not "Northumbrialand"

>>66707303
Westex doesn't exist
Neither does Eastex
Scotland is a country
Glasgow is a city
Toast Sandwich is a Wikipedia article, I don't even believe that it's a real thing because I never heard of it before 4chan
Beans on Toast is a delicious meal handed to us by the gods. It's fucking delicious.

>>66707359
Cornish people are stuck up their own arses for thinking they're another "country"

I guess they're not all bad though, Cornwall is great for holidays and surfing, and of course they have Cornish pasties which are fucking DELISH

Pic related, cornish pasty

If you don't know what it is, it's beef, onion, potato, swede, maybe some other stuff but those are the main things, stuffed inside crispy pastry

Fucking delicious

>>66702772
it's the wrong way round
