What is the percentage of people who uses BBC in the UK?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to the BBC all but approximately 1 million people in the UK have no requirement for a TV Licence. It would be impossible to calculate the true percentage of people who do not utilise or have access to the BBC's services (TV, Radio or Online) but it is safe to assume that the figure would be very low. I would personally estimate it at less than 5%.

What is the largest city in UK?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This depends upon what criteria you are looking for. If it is land area, then Carlisle is the largest city. (City status in the UK is conferred upon local government districts.) If it is in terms of population, then Birmingham is the most populous city in the UK.

London, for the record, is not a city. The City of London has a population of around 8000 permanent residents and corresponds to 'The City' or 'The Square Mile.'

London, in common parlance, refers to either the county, or urban area surrounding the city.

What is ordinance survey map?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

During the English civil war Oliver Cromwell, leader of the Parliamentarian side discovered that he had great difficulty hitting anything with his artillery.

He realised that the root of the problem was the very poor quality of the available maps of England. When his side won the war and he became a dictator he set up a government controlled and funded organisation to carry out a proper survey of the country. Because it was intended for use by artillery, it was called the Ordnance Survey.

The English decided that one civil war was more than enough, so the artillery never needed these maps, but all sorts of other people did. The O.S. still exists and keeps the maps up to date. Their maps are widely available and very popular.
