Knitted garment... I tried Sweater Bay, Kilt Bay, Scarf Bay, Mittens Bay, nothing worked.

It'd be easier if it came just after the Channel Island question..

I just kept typing Beanie Bay because that's would make a great name.

Could you accept Ceredigion for Cardigan? As that's what the area is called?

Bae Ceredigion yn y Gymraeg. But the question is clearly asking for the English name - people don't call it Ceredigion Bay.

I do. Had you binge-watched Cambrian Chronicles you would too.

Is there something I'm missing about the Bradford/Leeds connection? Is it featured in a song or book, or is there some kind of special significance to the distance between those two cities? The question seems a bit random to me.

It’s probably because they have a single combined airport: Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA).

I daresay it's basically because they are two of the biggest cities in the country but right next to each other. Although a map seems to show them as reasonably separate, when you actually go there it's very hard to tell where one ends and the other begins - at least that's how I find it.

Good quiz. Although it has a cathedral, Kirkwall is officially a town not a city

How does a Welshman find a sheep in long grass?

Irresistible.

Interesting. Is it particularly the wool they love, or their meat?

Meat, well, flesh. In any case it's definitely carnal love.

It's a tremendously useful metric for Welsh people. Someone makes a sheep joke = a pointless berk not worth bothering with. It saves a lot of time.

Idk I went to 'the Welsh college' in Oxford and most of our in-jokes were sheep jokes, all gleefully made and/or supported by the Welsh students

I'm not sure how nitpicky this is, but maybe allowing just "Westminster" for the Abbey is a bit easy? There is a Westminster Cathedral as well, which is a different building and not the right answer. In fact now I think of it, there's an Agatha Christie book where working out the answer depends on knowing the difference between the Abbey and the Cathedral.

The cathedral is a Catholic cathedral though: you won't get many coronations or royal weddings there!

Patron saint doesn't qualify as geography to my mind. Surely there's another option.
