Yeah that was pretty decent actually. Got 7/10 in 40 seconds.

Two points though - I was a bit gutted it didn't give me "cities in Canada" for the cities in Canada - I'm not sure many users based in the UK will know that they are all specifically in British Columbia, but I appreciate you want to make it harder by being precise. Also, Bank Quay is in Warrington, not Wigan, think you're getting your rugby league towns mixed up there! :)

I agree with Mister Tom above -lots of potential and interest, but some groups which are either too obvious, or too vague.

I put "council" as the connection for the council group but this wasn't accepted. Other than that, quite an enjoyable grid.

Need a little more leeway in the solutions...

Canadian place names should be good enough unless Victoria Coren Mitchell is there wanting a little more.
