I think the only city around that population in the UK is Birmingham. It is notoriously a pretty rubbish place.

Ha! I’m sure many a proud Brummie would disagree. Glasgow also has roughly 1m.

I live in Glasgow - isn't it closer to 600k?

The area belonging to Glasgow city council is 600k, the Glasgow urban area, also known as Greater Glasgow[0], which I live in, is 1.2m.
