It's a bit difficult as you have to spell them as well as know where they are.

Booking a coastal holiday in Italy and then picking out LAND-LOCKED Belarus on the map takes some beating.

I thought Bosnia was pronounced with a "z", spelling got me mostly.

It is. 38 for me but just back from The Oval mind bored numb.

Private Eye once reported that a Mirror Foreign Correspondent once asked "How far is Beijing from Peking?"

I am supposed to be writing an essay, but this has prompted me to fish out sporcle and try their European test.

I got 31/47 which I thought was good until I saw other people posting their scores

I consider myself reasonably intelligent, but throughout my years geography has always been my huge weak spot. I mean, I could probably point to the main countries on a map. Probably about 20 then. But other than that I have no clue really.

Edit: I just did the test and got 19. Haha! And some of the countries I got correct weren't where I thought they were!

Jade Goody was so bad at geography it was hilarious. And I seem to remember Sonya (remember her? Ginger, scouse, Stock Aitken Waterman puppet) getting asked on some kid's programme what the capital of Italy was around the same time as the 1990 World Cup there. Her answer - Spain.

So what you saying then ? They,ve changed it ?

41. Monaco, really? Vatican City, WTF! My knowledge of the breaking up of Yugoslavia let me down.

And the Australian MP wannabe who thought Islam was a nation. Those who say what the hell I can google it are so not understanding that you look DUMB

 

[Notters]

well with all the gadgetry and tech we have, knowing your geography isn't really needed. it will soon be the R.E of school timetables.

Yes because geography at school is about knowing where different countries are. :rollseyes:

I can't even find the start of this quiz on the website! any clues?

I know someone who went to the Gambia on holiday - and, even afterwards, claimed never to have been to Africa.

35, Geography was never my strong suit at school.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

47 - but not surprising as Ive been to nearly every one.

Interesting that this map of Europe does not conform to UEFAs view of Europe.
