British Views Of The States

It is alleged that these are attempts by Britons to identify the American states. I was hoping to cheerfully point out that California and Texas were the only states gotten correct in all of the maps, but then there's that one train wreck of a map that leaves California blank and labels Nevada as "L.A."

Some of them are pretty accurate, but I noticed that no one attempted to identify the upper peninsula of Michigan as anything at all. But on the up side, no one tried to label Lake Michigan as a state either, despite the fact that it looks like one on that map.

Eric,

But I bet you could locate Scotland, Ireland and maybe even Wales.

To be fair, I couldn't name or locate a single county (are they even called counties?) in all of the British Isles,.

Sadly, I don't think American students would fare much better. Seems to me, there was a recent piece in the paper about Harvard students that couldn't name the capital of Canada.
