Might be interesting to have the population numbers as hint instead of as answer part. Can't explain how I missed York, by the way...

We tossed that idea around - would be great to see if there is any difference either way! If I remember, I'll put up a version using your suggestion when enough time has gone by for people to forget this one, then do a compare. (Are you a Kiwi, by the way? Your pseudonym sounds Maori)

I am from the Netherlands, as Quizzer6794 says. My pseudonym is not Maori, but Japanese, it is a term from the game of Go.

Judging by his/her/their quizzes, he/she/they seem like they're from Holland (but who knows, ponnuki could just be fascinated by the Netherlands!)

You should change the title to 'Biggest British Towns and Cities as a number of these places are not cities.

Good one, although Telford has over 155,000 - I think it should be the winner for T.
