Matt LeTissier
Graeme LeSaux

[I'm not suggesting that either of these are counties by the way, or that they own motorways, but they're definately not Frenchies]

 

[Les Biehn]

They're not UK either, I don't think

I had this arument with my mate. He said definately UK, I said they are affiliated in some way but are countries in their own right.

 

[The Large One]

Next: counties without any MOTORWAY.

EAST SUSSEX.

They are "self-governing bailiwicks", it says here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_Islands

Depends on the definition of 'country'. Obviously, they aren't sovereign states (which is always the best definition, if you ask me, because it's the tightest definition). But they aren't part of the UK, either - only England (a 'constituent country'), Scotland (also a 'constituent country'), Wales (a 'principality') and Northern Ireland (a 'province') are.

They are officially known as UK Crown Dependencies.

Yes, whatever. Have they got any motorways? I'm sure Sark has a big one running right through it.

It's very quiet though, what with cars being banned and that.

We can take 'West Sussex' off the list anyway.

 

[Giraffe]

23 pages and still no definitive list. Christ what have you all been down. Still can't quite believe Bozza's "West Sussex".

Dreadful.
