	Good quiz, i'd make the case for Preston being bigger than blackpool, wikipedia doesnt count the outlying areas of Preston. Maybe thats just me being bitter. Anyway, good quiz

	Good quiz but it's Middlesbrough, not Middlesborough.

	Williams27:	May 11th, 2010 at 14:59 GMT		2 points
	Yes, it's Middlesbrough. Sort it out! Would be a very good quiz otherwise.

	Middlesbrough hasn't been in North Yorkshire since the 1970's - it's in Cleveland/Teeside. Where is Avon (Bristol)? Is Canterbury really bigger than Gillingham, Chatham or Rochester?

	Good quiz, apart from that one spelling mistake! Also, most of what bpdijt said is wrong. Cleveland doesn't exist as a county anymore, Middlesbrough is technically in North Yorkshire as it says. Gillingham is not in Kent, Chatham is tiny, but Rochester is bigger I think.

	Also, Avon doesn't exist as a county anymore bpdijt. Bristol is autonomous now.

	Shouldn't York be the largest city in North Yorkshire and Bath the largest city in Somerset? They're both in the ceremonial county in question.

	You all are so miserable! It was a decent quiz, bit spiteful to have a go because of a few mistakes

	Fatal errors

	Leo - I know - that's why I deleted my last comment! It is because it is not clear whether it is administrative county councils and/or unitary (it appears to be a combination of both).

	Thanks for the replies everyone - sorry about the mistakes, my first quiz! I didn't include Bristol purposely, so I guess I should take out "Middlesborough" as well ;) Hopefully no more mistakes. By the way, these aren't "urban areas" or political, just the cities themselves. So the populations might seem a bit low.

	Technically Bristol should be included. It is a county. It'll just have an obvious answer.

	I like it.

	It's Coventry for Warwickshire
