back to me is it?
right; London has always been called London (or ludenwic, londinium, londonburgh etc.) for its entire history apart from a few years in the 4th century when it was renamed to appease the then roman emperor.
Sharing the name with a current u.s. state capital, what was London called when it wasn't London?

nobody ever wins on those things.
Um... watch out for another trail of fuzzy logic.
First emperor to be Christian (I think) was Emperor Constantine.
Ignoring the diffrent strains and divergances we were a christian country around that sort of time.
I think I've heard of an American town/city named Constantinople.
Istanbul was formerly Constantinople....
.... which is close-ish to Italy....
.... and was probably occupied by the Romans at some point.
So Constantinople is my second guess.

What a month that would be!
Close enough, I commend your deduction. Sextillis was the answer and it was indeed the 6th month at one point. It was followed by September - septum being the Latin word for seven.
I like Quiz Phoenix - it breeds research and knowledge. Right, I'm off to browse Wikipedia for more calendar related info whilst Monsieur Richelieu thinks up the next question.

Yes. Berwick Rangers play in Scotland, Derry City play in the Irish League, Cardiff (and Swansea and Wrexham?) play in England, and the NZ team play in Oz.
I've never been to a Stranraer v BRFC match, but it is considered to be a derby match, despite being over 100 miles from each other. You'd also be lucky to get 300 people at the match.
Over to you, UP
