	@ dj j deezy: First, freedom of speech only applies to the US government. They can't limit your speech. We (and Sporcle) can. Second, if you love America so much, why did you write your song to the tune of a German composer?

	Why don't you guys just recognize what a troll dj j dezzy is and quit giving him the satisfaction of arguing?

	I was wondering when my position in the Metropolitan Police Service was going to be useful in a sporcle quiz.

	Definately helps living next to Bushy Park!

	I love Bushy Park, real fond childhood memories were spent there :')

	Anyone else get the bonus answer? I had to study these in detail recently so I'm a bit of an expert on them!

	Kiribati is next to Bushy Park? Man. I thought it was off in the Pacific somewhere.

Here's hoping that Sporcle graces us with 2 geography games today -a naive American, unfamiliar with London's royal parks

	4/8, although I knew Greenwich and got Green as a freebie. Ah, London. Great city with great parks.

	@truoger: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Parks_of_London. According to wiki, there's a ninth green space managed by the Royal Parks, Brompton Cemetary.

	1... Hyde, and Regent (forgot the s!)... sad, even if ive only visited the capital once, and come from the backwards north :(

	Brings back lovely memories of when I lived briefly in London. What gorgeous parks. Hampstead Heath doesn't count as a park, though I recall a pond and ducks...

	being a Londoner helps with the completing of this quiz. I am one of the few (by the sounds of things!)

	Shame nobody at Sporcle acted on my request for dj's account to be removed. I've never had a comment with so many positive votes: http://www.sporcle.com/games/worldcupsquad_england1990.php And yet he's still here trolling around. This is a great site, but please remove accounts like dj's for everyone else's sake.

	david- I don't get the "just google it" attitude. I like asking PEOPLE my questions. I like hearing what PEOPLE have to say about the questions I ask. Yeah, I could google it, but I for one just happen to LIKE taking a different approach. I frequently google things, but I also ask questions. The "just google it" answer annoys me no end. So, conversely- in the time you spent writing out your "just google it" response, you could have told Robbie the answer to his question.

	Is it me or are some people being just a teeny bit tetchy here? I recommend a consultation with our fine NHS ;-)

	I didn't even get bushy park, and I live 5 mins from it!

	Davidr; No, Bushy Park is not in Richmond (properly, Richmond-upon-Thames, to distinguish it from others of the same name, eg in Yorkshire); it's in the Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames. It's actually quite a way from Richmond to Bushy park. Kingston-upon-Thames, Teddington, Hampton and more are closer towns. And that's what is wrong when the ignorant use google and why Sparky is so right.

	ha i live near-ish to bushy and go there all the time, but didnt even think to guess it

	What about Victoria Park, which is owned by The Crown...? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Park,_East_London and was voted best Park in London by Time Out in 2008.

	Brompton Cemetary is a Royal Park - http://www.royalparks.org.uk/

	King John's Royal Gardens Gave Him Red Balls. You have to remember that J is for (St) James's... but if it was King James it would be lewd rather than poetic (see King John's Christmas by A A Milne :) )

	Why do you get some of the answers without typing the "Park" bit, but others you do have to?

	alleyt1989:	Jun 9th, 2012 at 12:51 GMT		0 points
	Agree - having to type park for some (but not all of them) is just stupid.

	rierie81:	Sep 8th, 2012 at 22:27 GMT		0 points
	Yay I got the bonus, only cos it's 1 of 4 parks in London I've ever been to!
