Let's see how many times I can do this until I consistently get over 80%:

  1. 37%
  2. 48%
  3. 76%
  4. 79%
  5. 94%
  6. 98%
  7. 100% (Pin: Hard)

Some fun tips to remember:

  • Berkshire is where the Berks live, lying horizontal like the berks they are.
  • Warwickshire is doing pincer-like war tactics.
  • Bristol is Gloucestershire's penis.
  • Wiltshire has a bird on it, and the queen is a bird so the one that looks like the queen victoria's head
  • Lanca is left, and Linca is right in my made up head language
  • Rutland looks like a runty little thing

    I reckon I could give a general area for 90% of them, but I’d probably get less than 30% accurately. And that’s England - I’m terrible with Wales / Scotland and haven’t really the foggiest with NI. I don’t think many people would be able to get above your score really and almost nobody would be able to recite them all from memory. Incidentally travle has a British mode that is great for this!

    I think most people know the ones they're near, perhaps by latitude. I'd probably be fine with everything North of the Midlands, but I'd struggle with all the little bits down south, unless I'd invaded them in Crusader Kings II or something.

    Thanks for the link - would have been interesting to see, but the site uses html-load.com to detect adblocking DNS, so it’s unusable :(

    No ... but I recently learned that Sussex is further divided into "rapes".
