Brits are at a lost

-

MILLIONS of Brits don’t know where Glasgow is on a map.

Meanwhile, 64 per cent also couldn’t locate The Angel of the North sculpture.

Skills training firm The Knowledge Academy asked 4117 UK adults to pinpoint on a blank map of the UK 29 towns, cities and famous landmarks.
