It's apologies :lolol:

California is the most populated state in the U.S with 38 million people and is bigger than the UK by quite a bit. Followed by Texas with 26 mill, then New York with 19 mill. So we're far more crammed in here

Seeing as Ed dragged his missus up on stage at the end, the burning issue for NSC is .... Yes or No? I'm going yes, after a couple of pints
