thanx trevor that was quick.brain not in gear tonight.looking for english county beginning with D 12 letters D?N?I?HSHIRE-only one I know is denbighshire but I thought it was Welsh.
i suspect that the clue may be wrong, Denbighshire seems like the only answer that makes anysense to me - i only got that because of your suggestion and i can't better it.
hang on for some other answers.
