Did they find anything?

Got one county. 😀 Can't say that I've ever been overly interested in geography of England.

Says someone from a country where they have names like Mississagalooza and New West Rutland... You get funny names in every country. There are funny names in the Netherlands, too, but nobody else understands them.

It is a historic county but still used informally. Most of it is in Greater London (I think a small part of it is in Surrey).

Devon, Hampshire, Lancashire, Shropshire

Devon was an accident -- I was going for Devonshire. Hampshire was a wild guess -- if we have New Hampshire here, then there must be and Old Hampshire!

I think I know more Irish counties. Is there one for that?
