Where Am I? - UK Quiz #4 (Completed)

Post by RobbieM »

Right, whilst I'm on a winning streak, I'd better set one of my own.

I can be seen looking outside my parents' living room window. (Not that that will help anybody on the forum...)

And it is considered a place of interest by many.

Let's test your UK geography in up to 100 questions, as I ask:

"Where am I?"

Isn't 100 questions a few too many? Considering that all the previous quizzes have been solved, I would see no harm in reducing the maximum to 40 or so. It needs to be a challenge :)

I'll get us started. Are you in England?

Maybe you're right. Okay - let's try for 40. If we're still struggling then, I could increase it.

Yes! (2/40)

Although I'm not actually Scottish myself; my parents 'emigrated' there from England.

Are you on the north-eastern side of the division formed by the A82 road from Inverness to Fort William?

Oh yeah, I meant north-western side! I always get my east and west mixed up. Always have done. It can be quite annoying on a Tube Challenge when trying to work out which platform to run to...
