	Cheshire cat? Worcestershire sauce? You'd be surprised. Also being from central Massachusetts I was able to guess a lot of them. I live near the towns of Worcester, Leicester, and Oxford. New Hampshire and New York are nearby states. Cambridge is near Boston. Rutland a town somewhere around here. Central Mass is Middlesex county. Etc.

	I used to have an old wooden jigsaw of the English counties as a kid, so this was quite nostalgic.

	Got quite a few from the cricket county's but apart from that didn't get many.

	20/39 Not bad for an American! When I saw the answers, I thought I should have gotten 10 more.

	I thought these where supposed to be historic. Where was Elyshire or the Soke of Peterborough? I suspect they mean counties from 1933 (Elyshire went then) until 1965 (Middlesex went then) Not a long time period for history!! I got them all correct but my spelling is rusty.

	Davroche, they are historic nevertheless. For a country that only formed as it is today in the 1920s, I'd say it was quite a big period too.

	@ GeordieGuitarist: As of right now, 34,161 people have taken this quiz. If everyone posted their score or which one they forgot, the comment section would quickly become meaningless drivel. That's why you were voted down: unless you have a point to make, we don't need to know which ones you missed.

	Where the hell is Huntingdonshire or Westmorland? Isn't Cumberland a sausage? Where is Boomhauer from?

	excusedboots:	Nov 1st, 2009 at 19:16 GMT	1 point
	Huntingshire spawned a tory prime minister (John Major). Westmorland was the southern part of the sausage county.

	I'm surprised no-one's complained yet that this quiz is insufficiently Americanocentric.
