Heard on one of the The Box, as the question for one of their competitions
Which city is know as the City of Angles [or Angels if you are going to be picky (see comments) - Adrian@12h48 ]
- Los Angeles
- New York
- Macclesfield
Sheesh, how can anyone be so dumb. We all know it's Macclesfield. I mean it's like the home of hovis bread and everything.
Actually I would love to meet all the people answered Macclesfield. I really would. It would be fascinating.

Adrian, it’s ‘Angels’…
I would guess that the city of angles would be Athens, or wherever Pythagoras used to hang out…
I WILL STOP BEING A TWATTISH SPELLING SNOB SOON PLEASE HELP ME I’M TRYING TO GIVE UP.
Phew!
I feel better now.

being an engineer and all, a city of angles would probably be just your sort of place, adrian.

Ooops.
I think those people who answered Macclesfield don’t feel so stupid now.

Stuart, are you in a 12 step program? ;)

Of course this is far too easy a trivia question from an ex-Los Angeleno. Next question…

It’s a one step programme -

End of programme.
I’m an engineer too. I can’t imagine a more hellish place than a City of Angles…
