General Knowledge: UK cities
This is mainly for the American folk on here, how many UK cities can you name without using google, I'm just curious as to how much knowledge American people have of the UK.
HINT: The UK is comprised of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

London, Old York, Old Jersey, Old Hampshire, Old Orleans... pretty much anything starting in "New" has an "Old" equivalent in England.

Well, yes, but we don't say the 'old'.
Orleans is French, Hampshire is a county and Jersey is an island.

London, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Birmingham, Gloucester, Cambridge, Belfast, Manchester, Southampton, Boston, Dundee, Brighton, Worcester, Liverpool, Cardiff, Sheffield, Hull, Oxford, Plymouth, Ipswich, Nottingham, Reading, Bedford, and now it's been 10 minutes and I think I'm taking too long so I'll stop.
I just thought of the major/fairly major cities, and then all the towns near me, because most of them have a British counterpart.

That's where Robin Hood lived, everyone knows it. I didn't know it still existed though.

Oh, and I know there is a village called Essex, because that is where Amy Childs lives!

York is a city, Jersey is an Island, Hampshire is a county (hence the 'shire') and Orleans and Haven don't exist but you exceeded my expectations
