Somehow I read the comment from clivey in a muppet voice. I guess it was the emphasis on the end of the words and dragging it on to the next word (while still being staccato), (like: bu -Ti -Tiss, for but it is) must ve triggered a memory.

or maybe my brain just lacks oxygen..

the census only happens once every ten years, so that's the most recent one you could use

I disagree with inclusion of London. The county of Greater London, whose population you show, is NOT a city. The true City of London (the area around St. Paul's Cathedral & Bank of England) has a population of only about 7,000, and is not a part of the county. However, the county DOES include the City of Westminster, but that certainly does not make the top 20 list. So please revise.

Haha. This quiz used to not have London on it. The complaints were many and vociferous, and the quiz had one of the lowest ratings on the site.

The boundary for Greater London, that was used here, was made in the 60s and London has sprawled out a load since then. After what happened to Wessex, no-one has re-drawn the line.

In welsh f and ff are different letters of the alphabet (but if you spell Cardiff in Welsh it doesn't have either).

Love Glasgow's coat of arms in the picture box! The bird that never flew, the tree that never grew, the bell that never rang and the fish that never swam.
