Don't you start...we get enough of that kind of thing from the Yanks "all you Brits must know every inch of the UK and it's history cos it's soooo small"

It's probably that same as having a quiz with 15 questions about Cairns. How many would you get? I might be good for a couple more answers but that'll be about it...always avoid London whenever possible so only know the obvious answers
