A map of England, according to Google autocomplete
London is awful, Surrey is ghetto but, would you believe it, Bristol is not trash
In news that in-no-way-whatsoever risks fanning the flames of a post-Brexit Civil War among little Englanders, a brilliantly amusing map has been posted to Reddit, describing all of England’s counties as per Google’s autocomplete function.
Its findings – generated by typing ‘[County] is’ and observing the most popular result – are hilarious, but also rather enlightening; a quasi-social experiment into the cultural stereotypes surrounding certain areas.
Oh, and it also reveals just how dense certain web users are, considering the most popular search term for Somerset – a county – is: ‘Somerset is in what county’.
