Just watched an episode of Tenable on ITV. A family of five had to name the 10 counties through which the M1 passes.None of them could name any.One suggested Kent;another Middlesex.No wonder sat nav sales are booming.
I can think of eight, what are the other two?
Maybe a sat nav will help?

Never ever watched anything…
With ‘celebs’ in it but, I have heard of Danny Dyer’s daughter.
Apparently she’s an actress.
Where’s my prize?
That’s that telly thing that people talk about, isn’t it?
It’ll never replace Jimmy Young!
Where is ere goes googled it, didnt know. 
sorry i`ll get me coat.
On Tenable recently the question was to name any counties and places bordering the London region, one bright student answered ‘DURHAM’. Uk geography is appalling on many quiz shows though, I’m not good outside of the UK but do know this island quite well. I suppose having been a driver plus a caravanner for many years helps though. I remember a couple of years ago on (I think) Pointless a question was to name any county in the southern part of England and this lass said ‘Germany’ and was genuinely surprised when it was wrong. A lot of the problem (I think) is that if folk need to know anything nowadays they just google it on their phone, instantly get the answer they require and then forget it again, years ago we read books to find out about things and perhaps tended to absorb the knowledge more?

North or south it doesn’t matter, likewise the names
It was a question that I was asked at an interview
I would question South Yorkshire

Just ask Herr Carryfast & Von Bewick on the old timers forum
EDIT: The royal family could claim Greek lineage as well as German in case of a messy Brexit
And don’t forget Harry can get a green card and work in America

Most definitely S Yorks, all the way from Barnsley to Woodall services.

I would call Yorkshire a county. I wouldn’t call North Nottinghamshire a separate county.
To me Hendon is still in Middlesex

In this case theres a world of difference…
I’m from North Yorkshire which is the biggest county in the country on its own although with the smallest population!
My partner is from South Yorks which to us might as well be France lol. I go down there regularly and they’re nowt like us. Much more like Wessies (West Yorkshire folk). Which isn’t entirely surprising as most of what is now South Yorks was part of the West Riding. We never had a South Riding. West Yorkshire of flat caps and whippet rustlers, the stereotypical view of Yorkshire folk and couldn’t be further from the truth up here!
I come under the north-east rather than Yorkshire. I live nearer to Newcastle than I do to Leeds and Boro is the local football team. Notts would fit into North Yorkshire around 3 or 4 times which is probably why there isn’t a North Notts!
The ones that really make me laugh are those southrons that scuttle up to Manchester and then say they’ve been ‘up north’…hahaha thats barely out of the Midlands. Theres a whole 3rd of the country north of the M62!
