Cruise control on a manual car 88Nonsense. Why was in installed on my 1984 Saab 900 Turbo 5 speed manual then? When did they start building them in Britain? Think they sold quite a few 900...

...a phrase which can have several different meanings, sometimes including Cumbria, sometimes Cheshire, sometimes neither. It certainly always includes Liverpool and that other place.
If only...
Changing car registration 85Conor You have a vivid imagination. It is true that you will find expatriate Liverpudlians all over the UK - indeed, all over the world (like Scotsmen and Irishmen). But most of them live...
All the government's regional offices (except, praise the Lord, for the Pbuttport Office)?
Even though (of course), that is greater than the population of the City of Manchester, is population the only possible measure?
And how about deliberate failure to enlarge the city post-WW2 so as to reflect new settlement just outside the boundaries (meaning that its population - even though bigger than Manchester's - is artificially depressed in the post-slum-clearance era)? A proper construction of "Liverpool" would certainly include most of the "borough" of "Knowsley", which largely consists of Halewood, Huyton and Kirkby, as well as the southern end of the "borough" of "Sefton" (Bootle, IOW). Similar enlargements during C20 saw large increases for the poipulations of Manchester and Leeds (and maybe other cities). The last enlargement of Liverpool (the annexation of Speke in the 1920s) did not mean an increase of population - the land was almost entirely vacant at the time.
Birmingham is the biggest city by population in England, no contest.
Leeds does not have 900,000 population - and its population was artificially enlarged by some 50% in 1974 by the effects of local government reorganisation, so you are comparing apples and oranges. Leeds doesn't even have a metropolitan telephone exchange. And London is not a municipality. I don't know that any consbreastuent borough of London has a population of 450,000, though Croydon might approach it. But I think even Manchester is probably bigger than Croydon.

Why would that be better?
Go to Liverpool and ask.
I agree that it isn't as important in non-conurbations, and it is even less important when the identifier does not imply subordination.
Depends where you are. :-)
...it wasn't.
...which must annoy some in Suslove, whilst being fine for Kent.
It should have been L for Liverpool, C for Capital, W for Wales.
