can you have geometric isomerism in the molecule below?
Surely yes because the carbon is attached to 2 different groups on either side?

No, because the C=C bond is in a 6-membered ring and due to the immense ring stain it would experience, the geometric isomer of the molecule shown isn’t stable and so does not exist.
