I knew all the counties but missed 2 because of the very innacurate and out of date map that still thinks Hereford and Worcester is 1 county (it is now Herefordshire and Worcestershire) and it still thinks Bristol is Avon, but I was lucky to notice that the map still thinks East Yorkshire is Humberside.
