This channel Jay Foreman is hilarious. A video I recommended previously - Why are British Place Names So Hard to Pronounce? - is also on this channel.

I love Map Men. They have a wonderful British humour. They prove you don't need vulgar language to be funny.
They have lots of vids worth watching.

The biscuits tangent i did not anticipate. But what are those things the americans call biscuits then? 🤔

England should perhaps learn to give up the old system, when intruducing a new one. Here in Germany we have 'Kreise', which are similar to counties. The more important cities don't belong to a Kreis, and are called 'kreisfreie Stadt'. It works and everyone understands it. But there are 401 of them.

Like you said it's for political reasons and definitely not for the benefit of the people, enjoyed though, cheers 👊
