English directions quiz
Below are the names of 3 well-known English cities. Your challenge today is to identify which county you would first enter if you travelled due South, North, West or East. One point for each correct answer - maximum possibe 12. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. To avoid confusion as to what constitutes a county for this purpose I have included a list below. Good luck.
REMEMBER - NO POSTS instead you PM me with your guesses any time up to midnight tonight. If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier (but you can still make changes up until midnight). So no hurry and it doesn't matter when you submit the answers because I'll be judging them solely on who has the most correct - and in the event of two or more being level it will be a tie.. I hope this is clear and good luck. Tomorrow I’ll post the names of the top entries.
