That was fun. I was thinking, "Well, at least they all know California and Texas," but then someone got them wrong.

But then, I'm pretty sure I'd fail at identifying the regions of England.

Okay, I just tried that and completely put Wales in the wrong place. So that's not good.

If you want to test your own US geographical knowledge, there are some fun games here: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/USA_Geography/USA_G0_click_1024.html

Very funny!! I'm going to share that with my son, the community college history teacher.

Yeah, I'd like to test Americans on that--not sure they'd do that much better than the Brits, frankly! Given what I see on Jay Leno where he asks people basic questions like "who is the vice president of the United States?" and most are clueless.

Frankly, I'm appalled at the level of ignorance amongst my fellow UKers about the USA.

but... Can any of you tell where the Black Isle is? Or Sutherland? Or Herefordshire? :~)

That was great fun. I am very poor at Africa....and probably all the others except the US. So, this could keep me busy for a LONG time. Thanks.

I thought the British did a lot better than most Americans would. I did fine on the rest, but slipped up on the Atlantic states. I was pathetic on Europe.
