    Warning: when you have got one wrong a few times, one of the county's dots go pink. Do NOT do what I did and ignore that one assuming you have clicked on it - it's actually a 'hint', i.e. telling you the answer.
    Guess you must be a clueless southerner then.

      If you give a detailed answer then you'll never get the job.
      The term you are looking for is rhetorical.
      You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think.

        'Frait not. I was born in an English county that is not on that map, educated in a county on that map which no longer exists and did Modern Geography, which does not include looking at maps at all.

          Nice one.

          You must have been educated in Cumberland, Westmoreland or Hunts perhaps?

          Hmm. But what county pre-dated their demise, is not on the map, but existed recently enough for you to have been born in it?

          Was Monmouthshire in England for a spell? Was IoW independent once? A Yorky Riding?

            You have so far mentioned neither of the counties to which I was referring.

            Which rather shows just how much buggering about successive governments have done just to fiddle the voting.

            I have also worked in a Welsh county that very few people know is now a county.

                Middlesex?

                    Rutland?

                    I grew up not in Worcestershire, and certainly not in Herefordshire, but in Hereford and Worcester.
                    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
