I scored 39 out of 116 - but to be fair, a lot of them were visited as a kid with my mum and dad, rather than as a paying adult. My own kids wouldn't come close to that number!
Only 24 here.
18 for me
Just 15 here - but all visited (and paid for) as an "adult". 😀
The world's a big ol' place eh? Lots to see.
about 15.
but I've been to Greece. Has the Queen? No.
A pitiful 26.
Mrs North would do well - she went to 9 countries in a six month period a few years ago. All with work....
13.
Is Stockport a different country?
only 15... but it appears I've been to quite a few countries the Queen hasn't been to...
Kev
18.
plus Greece and Taiwan which apparently she hasn't.
Surely she's been to Greece? or is the DoE not welcome?
Only 16 here.
I didn't include Belgium as I can't be sure if I have ever been there, though I think I might have once (school coach trip to Germany)- would I have noticed? 🙂
34 here oops sorry, 37 forgot some of the euro ones like France!
'I've been to Halifax, but, I've never been to Leeds......'
As above, only 13 here, best get some tourism in 😀
Point of order: I'm not sure sitting in a bus as it drives through somewhere to get somewhere else is quite the same as "visiting".
Likewise a business trip of [i]airport->industrial estate->airport[/i] is hardly exploring the local culture. 😀
Otherwise you might as well count countries where you just stopped to change planes. 😆

I did.
13 ...
But if you count GeordieLand it will be 14 and if Scotland is different country 15 ...
Only 16 🙁
26 for me.
23.
But I've been to about 10 countries that she hasn't.
12. I need to get out more
5 🙄
Turkey Spain* Greece France and America.
And I didn't pay for any of them. Sort of pathetic,
*Majorca is Spain isn't it?
24 if you include Greece and Taiwan.
I must have had 20 trips to Germany, Sweden and Poland though so that should earn me a Chufty Badge at the very least.
Nearly went to Belgium once, but I woke up just as my train was about to leave my station in France and got off.
30 something.
But quite surprised at the number of countries I've been to that HM hasn't.
I was expecting a quiz on toilets 😳
but I've been to Greece. Has the Queen? No.
You'd have thought she'd been to see the in-laws surely...
21 - so much of the world still to see.
34 here oops sorry, 37
Blimey! Can I ask how??
Are you a retired millionaire? Or just did a lot of backpacking in your gap year?
9 😆
A pitiful 19.
🙂
20 for me
18, for me
It might have been quicker to list the countries where the Queen has not been, but you have 😉
Looks like 40 on the Queen's list, plus a few others that aren't... However I think the total for anything other than work is about 3 - I'm never in a desperate rush to travel as part of my holidays 😉
3..ave it!
16 here.
I need to go for longer rides!!
10. All in western Europe! (not well travelled, me) Still, I have been to Andorra and she hasn't. 😛
4 and 1 of those was as a baby!
35
42, 'kin hell I thought it would have been about half that......
The queen hasn't scored very well in "Have you been where Landcruisers been" TBH !
EDIT
8 🙁
Blimey! Can I ask how??Are you a retired millionaire? Or just did a lot of backpacking in your gap year?
10 years Merchant Navy 🙂

17 but that's including some weird primitive places that the Queens never even been to like " Yorkshire" and "the midlands" 🙂
Nah, scratch.
21 here
did I miss egypt? Ecuador?
If you hopped around the Caribbean you could up your tally by quite a bit.
10.
I wonder how big the Queen (and her entourage's) carbon footprint is?
Ach, I'm just bitter and jealous because I am not that well travelled, pffft!
28
7 But I've ridden a bike in nearly all of them. I bet the queen can't say that!
