Maybe you need to watch more Rugby League? Their team is Hull Kingston Rovers (HKR). That would help you remember, as long as you didn't fall asleep out of sheer boredom.

What is 'deadest' supposed to mean? My interpretation is either deadliest or low/decreasing popularity, none of which is true

ironic though that when asking for the full name of Hull, you don't have to type it all out. It just accepts it on typing "Kingston"

Why ask for the full name of Hull then only let us type 'Kingston'? It'd be like asking us for the full name of Sri Lanka's capital giving it to us after we've typed 'Sri'

If you know the Kingston bit then the "upon Hull" is pretty redundant when it's in the question!

For the city in UK starting with I, it looks like the small letter L, so that threw me off. The question should make it clear that capital I is meant, not small L.

Yeah, I guess the Spanish speakers are too lazy and dumb to say "London" and have to resort to "Londres"

Clearly, what you said is a huge oversimplification of the truth here

Lego is both a company name, and the contraction of the Danish words "leg godt" which means "play well." It should NEVER be capitalised. Furthermore, not only do they originally come from there, but they still (primarily) do. The amount made in any other country is minimal to their output. Fix your question.

The clue doesn't say anything about production output or in anyway insinuate that some other country is superior to Denmark in terms of LEGO output

For the french wine region question, maybe change "region" with "city", as Bordeaux is not one of the French regions, but just a city.
