I Got LOST in the UK: GEOGUESSR | Easy English 118

Hello, welcome to Easy English.

So, for those of you that might follow our Instagram account,

you'll know that we recently broke down in France.

So I thought, we'd make the most of this and

get lost in the UK as well

and play a game of Geoguessr.

So if you want to play along;

go to (www.)geoguessr.com

and pick your respective country to get lost in.

there('re) five rounds and...

so you get 5 minutes of free.

So, let's try and do every single round in one minute.

Post your scores in the comments below

and let's see if we can get a leaderboard going.

Okay, so obviously for me, I'm going to pick United Kingdom.

It's a ''moderately hard'' map,

but I'm probably going to struggle.

So let's start the game.

And then, from now,

I'm going to start the timer; one minute.

Okay cool, so, I'm on a motorway.

This is actually much better than last time we played it with Isi,

because the first map and all the other maps we played,

on every round, we were dumped in a field

and we had to identify what county the cows were from,

that we could see.

Okay, so I'm on a roundabout.

Hmm... don't know what that statues is of,

looks a bit like a football trophy.

This is an industrial park, which is just,

full of businesses and I don't think we're going to get any clues.

Oh, look at that!

I know this.

That's Bolton Wanderers Football Club Stadium.

The Franking Sense South Stand.

Okay, so we're absolutely in Bolton.

And look, this is what I was telling you about

with these industrial parks, you got clothing shop,

shoe shop, sports shop, Nando's,

some very commercial erm... restaurants.

Okay, 55 seconds, I've just got that, so I'm going to stop.

My minute is up.

I am in...

Bolton is just north-west of Manchester.

Where is the stadium, though?

Somewhere in the middle, usually.

Er...

Huh?

Oh, where's the stadium?

I'll make the map a bit bigger.

Where, on earth is it?

University of Bolton.

Bolton Wanderers are very low down in the league tables,

so maybe they've removed them from Google Maps.

Around here somewhere?

We're on like, a big A-road, so it must be...

How is it showing me ''B&Q'' and supermarkets.

McDonald's, but not the actual...

bloody stadium.

Let's just go for somewhere out in the...

on the ring of bolton.

Must be here somewhere.

Okay, I'm just going to go for this.

Oh my God.

Look...

it didn't show you the...

It showed you the university, but not the football stadium.

Dear me.

But there you go,

there's the retail and leisure park.

Leisure meaning; going for a Nandos.

Next round, reset the timer.

We have one minute, let's go!

Okay, electrical store.

Some crappy microwaves,

desk fans.

There's a church, maybe there'll be a sign

of what church we're at.

Go!

Go!

My internet connection is hindering me.

Ah, here we go.

Belfast.

Boom!

I still have 30 seconds.

Let's have a look around and see what's going on in Belfast.

See if we can spot a English pub somewhere.

There's always an English pub somewhere.

Or an Irish pub, now we're in Belfast.

The ''Mace Express'', is this for...

okay, this is like a... small erm...

corner shop where you can just buy beers, chocolates and sweets.

There's bound to be a pub by the church.

Surely...

here we go, what're they up to?

He's saying; ''get the *** out the way''.

''I'm trying to clean my st...''.

He's watching him sweep him aside.

Look, still watching.

He's like, protesting outside his store.

What is his store?

Okay, maybe he never got his money back on a bike he rented.

That's some passive aggressive, sweeping,

I think, going on there.

Erm... okay so, I didn't...

I've actually gone on to one and a half minutes,

but that was Belfast, somewhere.

I'm not even going to try to guess whereabouts.

Let's go straight to Belfast, in Northern Ireland.

Let's just go here.

There you go.

That's not bad.

34 miles away from a total random guess.

Where we actually at?

Newry,

okay.

Go rent a bike in Newry and get swept away.

Okay, next round.

Reset the timer.

Here we go.

Okay.

What's going on here?

Everyone's on their lunch break.

What do they do?

Victoria Embankment, we're in London, I think.

But I used to live in London, but I don't recognise this, at all.

What is this?

Why can't I see anything of it?

Here we go.

Brits chillin'.

Oops, I'm supposed to be at work and I called in sick.

She's waving.

They're on Insta.

Can't even get out of 'ere.

I've got 10 seconds left.

I'm stuck in this...

weird auditorium of sun loungers,

All praying to whatever building this is.

Here's a guy.

Okay well, that's one minute up.

So, I'm going to guess we're at Victoria Embankment now.

Er... where's Victoria?

Er...

Victoria.

Er..........

Heh?

Am I mad?

This is embarrassing, isn't it?

(I) lived London.

Don't know my arse from my elbow.

Okay, so there's Victoria Station.

Erm... and they...

Could this be it?

The ''Square Park''.

Let's give it a go.

Maybe this is where they had their little circle of friends.

Let's do it.

Oh okay, I was pretty close.

1.4 miles away.

'kay, let's start.

Oh brilliant, we're on an A-road.

Oh, this is going to be impossible.

Oh....

I'm never going to get this.

This could be anywhere.

Ah!

What's this in the distance?

The setting from the ''Lord of the Rings'' movies.

here's a sign, got 30 seconds left.

Paisley, Glasgow Airport.

Loanhead Quarry, Local, M8.

Clerksbridge Toll.

Okay so, we're somewhere...

in Scotland.

Garnock Lodge, Loanhead Quarry.

Okay, let's have a look,

'cos we've got ten seconds left.

Where would Glasgow Airport be?

Paisley.

I'm gonna go, then...

for...

Oh, I could be really close, I reckon.

Loanhead Quarry, Garnock Lodge,

Local.

Hmm...

Let's go...

here.

Here!

Why can't I guess?

Oh, I have guessed.

That'll do

Ah!

There you go.

Look at that; 9.7 miles.

Smashed it.

Okay, last round.

Here we go.

Oasis takeaway.

Are we in Manchester?

I love Oasis.

What do they offer?

Paninis

Er...

bookshop.

Where are we?

This is... looks quite cute, actually.

Look at these nice, colourful houses.

That is absolutely a pub.

''The Hunters''.

Look at that, though.

Looks like, if the Teletubbies made a pub.

But this is your typical English pub.

''The Brown Cow''.

Cask ales, real fires.

Not those fake ones, that they offer in Teletubby pub.

Okay, let's go along.

30 seconds left, time's going so quick.

We have ''Boots''; a pharmacy.

Travel agents; independent one.

Oh wow.

There's no...

Oh, Hello.

Who's this?

Looks a bit like me.

''Chisholm Bookmakers''.

''Oddies'', this a off-licence selling booze.

Five seconds.

I don't know.

Oh no.

Okay, that's all I've got to go on.

A fish and chip shop next to a window framers.

Because that's what you do on your way to Teletubby pub.

And look, this is another pub.

Right, let's have a guess where we are.

I'm going to say, from just looking around briefly,

in this single high street,

that we are somewhere in the south-west,

near Salisbury, let's say we're...

here; Trowbridge.

I was miles away.

Where were we?

Cockermouth.

Oh, I saw that somewhere, that was written down.

We were right by the Lake District.

Well, there you go.

Let's see what I've got.

My summary;

I've got 17,279 points.

And where was I?

I was in Northern Ireland.

I was in London.

Manchester!?

Was I in Manchester?

The Lake District and Glasgow.
