I''m Crap at Geography

1 Dec 2007

I really am.
Once upon a time I thought Pontefract was in Wales - well it does sound welsh, don't you think? confused

I've just seen "Clitheroe, Lancs" on someone's profile. So Clitheroe is not in Wales either then? redface

I often find in chatrooms on here and elsewhere that I have to just ask "is it south of sheffield" 'cos anything else means nowt to me, tbh.
Some places sound like they should be somewhere else though.
Been mentioned by someone else that Middleton St George is oop here near me but it does sound a bit too posh, don't ya think?
Am I the only one crap with this? Please say no!! lol

For future reference, if you live more than an hour* from me, in any direction, just say "too far" as your location, thanks. And .. ummm ... yes, M St G is near Darlo surprised
