I also complained about Bradford too.I advised them that they should get someone from Yorkshireto help them with their research areas of size and populationto get the breadth and width of it all.I will complain about Bradford, West Yorkshire again and seeif I can manage to get them to put Bradford on.I was advised by e mail a few times it can take 6 months todo it but when I said you said that 2 years ago Leeds, WestYorkshire seem to go on very quickly.So try complaining too laughregards

I'd say Leeds's population is one of the few large cities where it is a true refection of its size it includes all of a fairly clear conurbation.Putting Manchester down as half a million or whatever is clearly ridiculous as except for obscure historical/administrative reasons Salford, Trafford etc are obviously part of what people think of as Manchester - Stockport and maybe Oldham are also clearly completely subsumed in the Manchester conurbation.However its pushing things to include places such as Bolton and Rochdale which although administratively Greater Manchester are clearly separate places. I'd say Manchester was roughly on a par with Birmingham population wise. Birmingham like Manchester would probably be 1million - 1 and a half million - but as with Manchester it is clearly ridiculous to include Coventry and even Wolverhampton as parts of Birmingham just because they're in the 1974 construct "The West Midlands".Finally Newcastle is another Manchester-type situation where it always looks relatively small because of the anomaly of Gateshead (a large chunk of the place) not being included.London is a bit like Leeds in that its actual defined boundary is almost the same as its conurbation (8 million).
