I agree with you Arden.

The 'game' claims that the City of London and Bristol are both ceremonial counties.

Well, quite understandably, most British people do not see them as counties - ceremonial or otherwise.

What is needed is a 'game' in which people are asked to remember the proper counties of the UK (i.e. Rutlandshire, Middlesex etc. I expect that more people will do well in and enjoy a quiz of that type than in one in which we are asked to name entities which are counties (ceremonial) on paper only.
