In this video, I'm going to name all 48 counties in England
0:03
Now, I'm not going to lie, when I accepted this challenge, I thought, that'll be easy. I live in the United Kingdom, I've been places sometimes
0:09
but then I discovered there's 48 different counties. That's almost as many countries as there is in Africa
0:14
How are there so many? What on earth? I'm guessing at the minute, I probably know about less than half
0:19
So let's just jump into it and see what happens. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to start at the top and work my way down
0:24
because this right here, that's the county I was born and grew up in. So because of that, I know the surrounding counties
0:29
So from the top, Northumberland. Yes, very nice. Delightful place. Big fan of Northumberland
0:36
And then we've got Tyne and Weir. So that's where Newcastle is. I lived there for about four years or something
0:42
And under that, County Durham. Oh, why did that not work? Is it just Durham? Oh, fair enough
0:48
If you live in County Durham, you call it County Durham, but I'll accept Durham
0:52
It says County Durham on my mom and dad's address, though. That's all I'm saying. So yes, grew up in Durham, spent the first 18 years of my life there
0:59
And then under that, we have got North Yorkshire, where Becky is from
1:04
The largest county in the UK. I have, you know, a little bit of fun trivia for you there
1:08
So I also lived in North Yorkshire for like two or three years. Very nice place
1:12
Okay, so from North Yorkshire, we should be able to get South Yorkshire, shouldn't we
1:16
And there we go. And then, is there an East Yorkshire? Let's find out
1:20
There is. It's called East Riding of Yorkshire. Fair enough. It took that, so that's fine
1:24
And then I assume there is a West Yorkshire. There is indeed. And then where I live these days, Nottinghamshire
1:30
There we go. Perfect. And then by the side of Nottinghamshire is Derbyshire, I believe
1:36
And on the other side, Lincolnshire. Yes, look at us go. 10 of 48
1:42
So these are the obvious ones because that's where I've been, basically
1:45
The rest is where it gets a bit tricky. So I do know this little island down here. That is the Isle of Wight
1:51
I mean Oh my god, is it not the isle of wight? Oh god, I spelled it wrong. It's spelled white fair enough white
1:59
Perfect me and my mom had a delightful time at the isle of wight. We went to a garlic farm and
2:05
Um, it was fun, right? I think london surely must be one it is city of london
2:10
So is there like can I get something else is there like greater london or something like that? Let me try
2:15
Oh my god, there is okay. So from there, let's do kent. Let's do
2:19
Berkshire now I'm doing places that I remember from watching escape to the country
2:25
Dorset Monmouth Sure, I think that might be in Wales if that doesn't work wheels obviously not counted. Okay, so now I'm starting to slow down
2:34
I'm starting to struggle. I know is that we've got five minutes 50 left before we run out of time
2:39
Oh, you see I know a lot of places, but I don't know what's a city and what's a county like, you know, if I put
2:44
Liverpool is there a no it's just the city of Liverpool obviously but I thought
2:48
maybe the city of Liverpool was in the county of Liverpool I don't know all right sue me oh Lake District I can do that one no I can't Cumbria that's what
2:57
it's called isn't it yes brilliant that's where the Lake District is oh I know one Cornwall yes right down the bottom Cornwall Dorset I thought they
3:05
were next to each other what's the other place then I don't know right what else
3:09
can we do? Lancashire. That's one. Lancashire. Excellent. What else? Oh my god. See, look at that
3:15
I'm from the north. I don't know any of these places. At least I've got the entire north covered
3:20
though. That's good. What do you think? Do we give up with less than half done? Oh, that's sad that
3:26

10:54
43 of 48. I cannot believe we have only five more to get. One, two, three, four, five. There's going to be some more shers in there, isn't there? It's undeniable, really
11:03
I don't know. I can't think of them. All right, I'm going to give up. I forget these consistently. Surrey, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Worcester
11:10
It's not called Worcestershire, is it? Oh, it's called Worcestershire. Bloody hell
11:15
I'm having flashbacks to when everyone made fun of me because I said Worcester crisps
11:19

11:27

Cambridgeshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Hertfordshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, Bedfordshire
12:04
Rutland, Lincolnshire, Bristol, Cheshire, West Midlands. Let's do the Yorkshires
12:16

12:26
Oh, Northamptonshire. That's one. Lincolnshire. Oh my God. Lincolnshire. I've already got it, but I don't have the other L, which is Lecestershire
12:42
Yes. Oh my God. Greater Manchester. Greater Manchester. We're getting there. We're getting there
12:46
Greater Manchester. So we only need three more. I haven't done Essex
12:50
Oh my God. I will be good if I have to restart
12:54
Staffordshire. Have I done Shropshire? It could be Shropshire. It could be Shropshire. Shropshire
13:00
Oh my good God. Now I'm stuck. I'm not restarting. I'm going to sit here
13:04
If I have to stay in silence for the next three minutes and 30 seconds, I will. I've just kicked my dog in the air. I'm so sorry, Kong
13:08
He was fast asleep and I moved my leg. I'm so sorry, Kong. Good boy. Kong, while you're here, you- you haven't any idea which county I'm missing
13:15
It's- it's- it's next to Worcester, which a lot of people think is pronounced Worcester
13:19
but I personally know that it is indeed Worcestershire. It's gotta have shut on the end, doesn't it
13:24
Because everything's gobbledy shut on the end in this stupid country. Oh
13:32
Oh my god, I know it It's our old friend Warwick Davis
13:40
Yes, I can't believe that's the one we miss Way to go brainiac impress your co-workers with those smarts by booking a special trip stop advertising to me
13:51
Sparkle stop trying to take away the big moment. All right. There we go. Just like that
13:56
We learn all 48 counties in England. It's bloody hard because so many of them are just so similar sounding
14:02
But still pretty fun. So I will continue practicing this so that I can just do it easily because obviously this was a big challenge
14:08
You know, it took me a full like 12 minutes to do it or whatever. But yes, hopefully enjoyed this video next week
14:13
I'll be back to learning all of the blue flags of the world. I'm having a bit of a nightmare with that one
14:17
But I will persevere. Thanks a lot. I'll see you later
