@lightup - not according to the source data. These towns all happen to be in England, but data from the entire UK was used.

It's Teesside as it's on the banks of the Tees not the Tee.

Nice quiz! Sutton Coldfield was part of Birmingham last time I looked, much as its residents may be in denial about the fact. Have they declared independence?

What a suprise, all the ones I missed were the ones without lower league football teams.

Yep, Sutton Coldfield is in the City of Birmingham so it has city status. The source for this quiz looks a bit iffy to me. There are lots of tables showing the difference between "town" populations & "council" populations that seems very subjective & arbitrary.

@ronny_jubber: Sutton Coldfield has no city status, even though it's in the same metropolitan borough as the city of Birmingham. It's about 8 miles from the centre of the city.

Good quiz, but some surprising answers though such as Crawley and Sutton Coldfield.
