Evan... I've lived in the UK ALL my life and I don't know where half of the counties are located. Because Geography just doesnt exist in my brain. So you did very well.
When one says a city not a county! Good try though, I'm not good at the North ones, I'm from Worcestershire West mids but know everything in my belt and below plus a lot of Wales and lower Ireland. Sorry Northerners! 😊😁
Me, from Nottingham, after Evan complimenting the flag: why thank you 😌 Update did the quiz, got 43% big proud of myself- only been living here for 17 years
It'd be interesting to see what score Evan might have gotten if the name didn't show up when you clicked on the wrong country/if you didn't get 3 goes. There's definitely some that he only knew because he'd already clicked it. (I would definitely be in the same boat!)
As an East Midlander I would agree, but I always think of the references to ‘the midlands area’ in reference to lady parts in the movie: Mrs Henderson Presents
Evan insisting the midlands don't exist meanwhile that's the ONLY bit I'm confident on (Fun fact: Until 2020, Rutland was the only county without a Mcdonalds)
I'm British and I would totally fail this. I know mine, the ones surrounding me, and Pembrokeshire where my extended family live. Edit: I'm from Nottingham and was shouting at the screen NORTH GO MORE NORTH lol. Also it's true we don't generally consider ourselves southerners.
Cestrian (by relocation) here, from Chester, which is the county town of Cheshire - you need to visit it for many reasons: Chester is the home of the second-most photographed clock in the UK (after Elizabeth Tower), Roman walls and medieval split-row shops (called the Rows). It is beautiful and your photographer's eye will go nuts for it. The river is also lovely, along with the bridges over it. The rest of the county has equally beautiful pockets, although I know the west far better than the east. The county is also the gateway to two major beauty spots - the Derbyshire dales to the east and North Wales and Snowdonia to the west. I hope you get to go there soon! BTW: 84% in about three minutes, although doing it right after watching you do it may have helped a little!
As someone from Kent, I love that no one can help themselves from saying "Garden of England" after the county's name..... even if you don't know where it is!
I've always referred to the Midlands as "No-mans land", as rather like the bit of ground between the trenches in WWI nobody wants to lay claim to it and apparently nobody lives there, or at least won't admit to it. lol
Evan: *Hovers over Rutland, a county that's basically just countryside and has 1 train station* Evan: That's got to be an important city! Everyone watching who knows where Rutland is: 🤦
Was it rejected? Or was this a joke, as I just watched the video he quoted this comment at the beining... And I'm hoping it's just because he's bad at geography and not because he actually didn't get his citizenship
Like I said on a previous video. Give him a map of Zones 1 and 2 and he'd nail it. Surprising how well he did on the Midlands considering "We don't exist"
Haha I'm also from Scotland and yeah, I did this quiz and I did worse than Evan...but I knew where Cumbria, Northumberland, and the ones in the South West were lol.
As someone from Newcastle living in Durham, I'm just happy you got us right! You were almost right about Northumberland, it means land north of the humber ('ull), or North Humber Land
The reason you find all the shires hard to pronounce is because you actually pronounce the R in it. Just say sha (with the throwaway vowel sound). Remember, british english just doesnt really have them as much, especially at the ends of words 😅
apart from lincolnshire and nottinghamshire (where i live and go to school) i’m pretty sure i couldn’t place many more counties on the map. name a few? yes. place them? i’ve got no chance.
I've lived in England my entire life. There is no way I would have gotten anywhere near 51%. I laughed when you thought Hampshire was up north. We're way down south
You were on the right lines for Northumberland's etymology. It's just North Humber Land - in other words, land north of the Humber river... which is all the way down the other side of Yorkshire, but still.
I'm from Dorset. I would recommend visiting. there are a few nice beaches and its home to the worlds 2nd largest natural harbour - Poole Harbour. I know it very well
Honestly, I’m from England and got a 9 in Geography GCSE but I would’ve been awful at this, so you did well. Even though I’m from Staffordshire lol. Also, have you watched Taskmaster? It’s really the best of British comedy
Tried the quiz as a Belgian who has been in the UK only once, on a school trip to London. I have barely any knowledge about the UK. I got 41%, which sounds impressive, until you realise I made the quiz right after watching this video and most of them were still just guesses
I did this a few years back in my own video, and did far better than I think I and anyone else would have expected. The part that surprises brits the most is my knowledge of the channel islands, as I guess according to them, even brits themselves forget about them.
I'm from Staffordshire, I love how you guessed it would be coastal when it's known as the furthest point from the coast that you can be in all directions 😂
This was so much fun to watch.. your frustration, your jubilation... Also the fact you know it's hARTfordshire but don't know bARKshire. And omg your confidence at the end then suddenly - Rutland.
As a gordie I got chills when he said Tyne and "wear" (Pronounced: Where) even though I know exactly why he pronounced it like that Btw it's pronounced like "We-er"
I've lived in England all my life and did A-Level Geography and even I couldn't get this 100% right so don't beat yourself up. Loved your super sharp filming btw. You watch Jack Edwards? Yay! Love him too.
When he was putting Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire in, I was so offended that he thought it was so far South. I live in Nottinghamshire and work in Yorkshire and we are definitely North. I was like 'GO UP, GO FURTHER UP, OH MY GOD!'
I'd get most, although I hadn't realised Bristol or City of London had their own counties. I'm from Sunderland (tyne and wear (pronounced like we're)), studied in Leicester (leicestershire). The smallest county in the UK is the Isle of Wight for half the year, and Rutland the other half, depending on the tides.
Because the North and South spend their time talking about how better they are than each other and we quietly sit there not taking part and knowing we're better than both 🤣
I'm so pleased that you knew Bristol,the city where I live,is also a County in its own right. You did know that. It must be because at least one of your pals is from Bristol. This city was granted County status by King Edward the Third in 1377.
My London friend calls the Midlands "south North" and being from Derby, I actually agree. We definitely (by we I mean myself) feel more northern than anything else.
Even clicks on Lestershire like 10 times for other counties, then pulled a happy face when he rembered where it was... But Thankyou for rembering that my home town and birth place make cheese... They also make Melton mowbary pork pies
by the end of that it was mostly guess work and process of elimination. everytime it was a south west county i was almost shouting, when you almost put dorset in the east i nearly cried
It was amazing to me that I knew a lot of the ones he did not know. I was screaming that Rutland was the little one that he said he did not know. Thanks to Geoff, Vicki, and All the Stations for my UK geography knowledge.
Bristol is a funny one, it used to be part of the county, Avon, and then the counties were reorganised in the 90's (I think) and Bristol wasn't included in the new counties that were created and is now just a standalone city/county. It is a real pain on address forms where county is a required field.
87% but I had just watched your video so I got some revision there. 🙂 Against me was my tiny screen so I lost a point for fat fingers. My biggest surprise was Nottinghamshire as many of my ancestors are from there and in my head it was further south.
i feel like cheshire is one of the less well known counties so i’m happy you knew the general area. also cheshire is officially in the north west region of england so no can stop me from considering myself northern
"The UK for me has been... London."
Good news Evan... there's also a London boroughs quiz.
Next video in the series ^^
Then-->German states
omg yes please do this
Not knowing where anywhere is outside of London would put you on a par with 90% of Londoners (I'm a Londoner, BTW)!

Isn't that where Gerry and the Pacemakers take the ferry?
I’m not from Liverpool but even I felt the pain when he said “Liverpool County” 🤣
That was super painful as a someone from Merseyside! :D
I bet the neighbours were wondering why I was screaming "NO! THAT ONE!" in an increasingly frustrated tone 🤣
Evan... I've lived in the UK ALL my life and I don't know where half of the counties are located. Because Geography just doesnt exist in my brain.
So you did very well.
Me too, I could get the Home Counties and... er...
Same
yeh I never learnt the counties in geography anyway so I straight up know like ten of them and that's it
As a northerner, I know down to South Yorkshire then I don’t know. I feel like nowadays it’s just not necessary to know that kind of thing
I expect most people only know the counties they've visited, or near where they live. That's certainly true in my case
