	All 13. Took me a while though. Had to remember what mid-Wales was called back in the day. I'm Welsh, I'm supposed to know this stuff.

	should really allow caernarfonshire to be spelt with an 'f' - as that's a recognised spelling. other than that 11/13. hooray the welsh.

	Could also allow Breconshire for Brecknockshire. Got 13/13 at the third time of asking!

	Merionethshire is not a recognised spelling at all. In English it used to be Meirionethshire. A typo maybe or an Americanism?

	why would there be an americanism on the spelling of a welsh county? or an english one for that matter i dont think they care enough/are used often enough in the states to spell them differently

	I thinks there's a Merion conty in US as apposed to Meirion...

	I did it! on my 4th go :) I kept getting stuck on the powys/dyfed etc ones. When were they? Re Sparky: yes I agree a modern one would be great :) not that I'd get them all first time by a long shot!
