	Milton Keynes? That's just one that I missed, but there could be more.

	Could you accept Leamington Spa for Royal Leamington Spa? That's what University Challenge champion Matthew Chan referred to his hometown as.

	Please stop saying cities in the title when the majority of these are not cities, you should say settlements or something else.

	ragu:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 11:02 GMT	2 points
	also you have not included Inverness, Telford, Scarborough, Barrow in furness, Lancaster, Keighley and Burton upon trent to name just a few which have populations over 50k.

	darinh:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 12:11 GMT	0 points
	@ragu: look for an update tonight - downloading most recent population tables I can find right now. should have those cities.

	darinh:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 13:49 GMT	0 points
	@ragu: actually some of those are still not going to appear, as the populations of 50K+ (which are shown on Wikipedia) are for the entire settlement area, which is not the city proper...i.e. Glasgow's Settlement area pop is 1M+, however the city proper is not nearly that large.

	ragu:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 14:45 GMT	1 point
	those places i listed above should all be on there

	darinh:	Jun 7th, 2011 at 15:24 GMT	1 point
	Looks like the only ones I'll be adding are Telford and Keighley. Inverness pop is under 50K (settlement area is not city proper), Scarborough, Barrow, Lancaster, Burton all under 50K on citypopulation from latest census. Wiki is only a last resort for me for population data.

	Another great quiz, thanks. A couple of things: You should accept Derry for Londonderry. Otherwise you might inadvertently offend half the town's population. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derry. And Milton Keynes is massive, much bigger than a lot of the towns and cities on there. Don't know why it isn't in your source data, but according to the local council it's over 230,000, and even if that maybe includes some local villages the town itself will be way over 100,000. http://www.mkiobservatory.org.uk/page.aspx?id=1934&siteID=1026

	i agree with chandelier, i have never seen why citypopulation.de is used a such a credible source, imo its not a good source at all.

	Southend should be accepted for southend on sea

	welshrose:	Mar 22nd, 2012 at 20:14 GMT	1 point
	wow... weston-s-mare isn't a city! make it clearer it's settlements over 50,000 you are after as weston is not a city...
