1. WHY IS PRESTON THE YOUTUBER THAN 10 MILLLION SUBSCRIBERS ON THIS LIST! I dare you type in preston and it will work. No but seriously don't do youtuber to think your cool
2. Oh and thats not all. City of Chester has 118,000 people (rounding) and it is on this quiz. and Ipswich has more than 137,000 people and its not on this quiz. And you call it a town? Says who! super bad thing to mix or do
A city in the United Kingdom has nothing to do with size - St David's has a population of 3,000. It's more to do with cultural significance; it used to be defined by being a settlement with a cathedral, but the definition has widened since then.
Rochester is officially not a city any more. If you believe that a city is defined by whether (effectively) the civil service say it is or not, then it's not. But the Medway towns have never been a city.
Dover is absolutely not a city and never should be. Small town which just happens to be famous for a couple of things. It would make a mockery of City status if it ever got it and I live there!
50 out of 79. Not bad for a Virginia (US) farmer. After the major cities, I just started typing towns and counties in Virginia and North Carolina. I guessed 20+ that way. Some were guesses from watching Downton Abbey (Ripon).
Thanks for not making us list "upon" or "on" since I never can remember those.
Let's see here... I know Leeds, Manchester, uh... er... London, OxfordShire, Ireland, Wales, Southeast Pimberton, Northern Nor North Havermeyer, Fartfashfarthenfur, Spunkepossume, North Piddle, the Shire, Saruman, Helm's Deep, and uhhh... ... ... Hoboken.
Um ... Brechin. It IS a city because it has a cathedral, and also its Football team is Brechin City - however I have lost this argument before! the trouble is that Britain has never quite worked out how to define cities. So you get ancient cities (such as Brecon, with a Cathedral and a diocese) that somehow 'lose' their accreditation - awkward. But 'modern' chartered cities that do not seem to have to re-apply.
Birmingham made me think of the Peaky Blinders, Becket for Canterbury, the Beatles for Liverpool, Robin Hood for Nottingham and Badfinger for Swansea, but the most pleasant thought was of Lady Godiva and her ride through the streets of Coventry.
Hahaha hadnt even seen it. A bit overkill but I guess it is to stay one step ahead over the overzealous nitpickers? Afterall there is also the United Kingdom of the Netherlands (the historical name,), and there were some nordic unions between kingdoms
Odd how 75% got Leeds but only 38% got nearby Bradford. I mean Leeds is more relevant on a national scale but Bradford isn't THAT much smaller, is it more well known over the pond or something?
Doing this on a mobile phone I would have barely had time to write them all if they were written down in front of me. May I humbly suggest a bit of extra time?

Pls fix or flamingo
The ones created since 2000 are linked to the Queen's Jubliee- at least that's how Brighton&Hove was created.
Tricky quiz; couldn't believe I missed some of the more obvious ones while getting the lesser known ones.
The boroughs of London as cities are tricksy.

Anyway good fun.
\But, my spelling is the correct spelling. please change it.
Who are the 2% who didn't think of London?
