	One or two of these questions don't seem to accept the right answer (F1 teams for example). I'm sure there are plenty more than 9 Euro Parliament seats?

	There are strictly 72 Football League clubs, but 92 if you include the Premier League. Also need to set up to accept single answers. And you should also accept either Westminster, Westminster Palace or Westminster Abbey.

	Westminster is the not the name of the building. There are also only 9 European constituencies in England... http://www.europarl.org.uk/section/your-meps/your-meps Remember it is a quiz about England, not the UK hence 2 welsh teams not being counted in the football teams.

	What is Largest City based on? Greater Manchester is the third largest urban area by population but the actual City of Manchester is 9th, Liverpool being 3rd. If it's based on area I reckon it's Leeds (though I can't find it on wiki)

	i think it should accept 'God save the Queen' as the national anthem as that is what we sing at events such as rugby, football matches. Also the population is nearer 60 million and you should accept Westminster.

Comment below threshold: show it

	England is a "country of the UK" though. Although since this is just about England, and not the UK, then you could argue that the parliamentary building question shouldn't be there, and neither should the prime minister. Those are things that relate to the UK, not just England. I guess you could say the same about the Queen. I mean it would be like having a "State quiz" about Texas and asking who the president is.

	@Peachy: You are right when you say that there are only 9 European constituencies in England. However, your question asks for the number of seats in the European Parliament, which is different. The 9 constituencies return 59 MEPs, so there are 59 seats. At the next EU elections, the UK will have another seat (same source as you quoted) but this seat will be within one of the existing constituencies and will not mean that we will have 10 constituencies.

	Anybody else try Pigeon for national bird?

	"Humber" should be sufficient for the longest bridge answer. I would also suggest accepting "Honi soit qui mal y pense" for the motto, as it also appears on the royal arms

	William III is not yet king of England so that question is completely ridiculous and misleading. The last king of England was George VI and Charles III will be the next.

	Yorshire is no longer a single county. It has been split into separate counties including East Riding of Yorkshire, South Yorkshire etc. It is therefore no longer the largest county of England.

	You should accept the number 8 instead of having to write it for the number of formula one teams. The tallest building in England is actually One Canada Square, Canary Wharf is the location not the building. Finally I'm being slightly pedantic but the answer to the pub question should be 58000 not 58 as the question as to the nearest thousand not the number of thousands.

	There's so much wrong with this quiz, I don't even know where to start.

	@thelawyer I think it's referring to William III as the last king of England as opposed to of GB. Prince William will be William V

	Richard Cromwell?? Surely it was Oliver Cromwell? And it is a bit misleading the whole last king of england question :/ sorry if all this has already been mentioned.

	Oliver passed the protectorate to his son Richard; it's correct

	The Third biggest city based on area is Leeds not greater manchester.

	Okay, this is a very poorly researched quiz. And the question "percentage of UK population" makes no sense - one can't be sure what is being asked. The longest river is the Severn, not the Thames. Church of England was not the main religion for all time proceeding 1533, as Queen Mary restored the Catholic faith breifly during her reign in the 1550s. And that's just to name a couple. There's so so much more wrong with it; I can't be bothered to keep going - we'll be here all night.

	George vi was still the last king of England he was king of the rest of the empire too - but King of England nevertheless - ditto with the National Anthem, unless you state the 'exclusive' fact how is anyone taking the quiz supposed to know what you mean?
