This came up on my feed ...

https://www.zoo.com/quiz/what-uk-city-are-you?

I think some system failed to recognise that I'm already in the UK▸ (United Kingdom), and with many questions I wish I could have answered "not of the above" or "what a c*rp set of options" ...

If it's a quiet afternoon for you, why not see if you get Birmingham too?

Definitely a rather naff set of questions.  Since when has lift been a slang word and I always thought that there were 5 Spice Girls.  However I persevered to the end and I too am Birmingham. Not bad seeing how I worked there for 15 years

London too. And never mind 'lift' - who ever says 'bullocks' (apart from a herdsman)?  Grin

I'd like to think lift as slang meant steal but I'm afraid they probably regard it as slang for elevator.
Mounds?  Huh I'll ask my son if those are actually "a British candy bar". Jaffa cakes definitely exist in other countries too!
Edinburgh; but I was just giving random answers for the last ten or more.
