'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.

Rutland?

I grew up not in Worcestershire, and certainly not in Herefordshire, but in Hereford and Worcester.

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.

Avon?
One of the metropolitan authorities?

Middlesex?
Wessex?

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?

It's one of those questions when we don't want a proper answer, like 'how are you today', or 'did you have a good journey'.

If you give a detailed answer then you'll never get the job.

The term you are looking for is rhetorical.

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.

I've had a few interviews in London recently and the same question keeps coming up when they look at my home address...

"Where is Lincolnshire?"

Are all southerners oblivious to the location of the second biggest county in England?

It's a bit like Herefordshire. Where the fook is that? Does anyone actually live there?

Herefordshire is in Wales. Some people will tell you that it's in England, but they're just deluding themselves. It's really in Wales.
