How well is your UK Geography ?

[Leekbrookgull]

Really rather simple and a bit like the Shipping Forecast ! The "Old Man of Hoy" we have all seen it but where is ?

The island of Hoy, one of the Orkneys.

There isn't a town in England for which I could not tell you its county. Bizarre insofar as my memory is most poor otherwise.

The only Old Man of Hoy I know is big rock in Hoy in the Orkneys!

I've no idea how well my UK geography is, but I reckon it is pretty good. I would actually be very surprised if all - or even most - of us had ever seen the Old Man of Hoy. It's a long way north of the M25!

And post another question. Please.

Google maps makes most people geography a lot better

And post another question. Please.

Would you rather know when you will die or how you will die?

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Another UK Geography would be better.

I haven't seen it.

Might not be so bad at that - I could then light up a fag again knowing that it would make no difference!

The Old Man of Hoy was featured quite often in climbing programmes. Pretty sure there was a live one once.

 

[GT49er]

I haven't seen it.

Neither have a lot of us!

OK. Just for you (no googling).

Where are the lands of Canaan, Eden and Jordan?

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Eden any connection with Edenbridge ?

A fortune teller told my mother that she would die in an accident in Hull. She avoided the place her whole life and died of cancer in Lichfield, Staffordshire. Failed on both counts.

That's mental

No.

I'll give you a clue. Richard Hannay.

Sorry! Very sorry about your mother, but I laughed at that!

Impressive. Any work related reason why you know them all? I wouldn't know 90%
