Is it only me who thinks 'High St. Ken' sounds more like the name of a

Just been reading John Simpson's autobiography - he refers to an Iraqi at
a dinner-party seeking to pretend he knows all about England (though he
thinks Suffolk = Sussex).

I doubt the average American, or ecen European, has heard of Suffolk or
Sussex. I'd wager a good number of Brits confuse them.
