Leave Wilts alone, he sympathises.

Now Madjeski has a very big ego, and a very small dick. That spells trouble! Rougier was bedding him which is why he had to leave!

I'm not talking about size.

However, mine is bigger than yours.

Why? Are you his boyfriend?

Incorrect... the central borough of Reading is 143,000. The population of Reading suburbs put into other boroughs for "admin" purposes (similar to the East/West Sussex thing), is nearly 150,000 on its own. Reading as a town has a population of over 270,000.

Don't try to get me on facts dear Penguin

P.S. Here's the link (has 220,000 down, and much less for Brighton). Its also the same website you got yours from, the National Statistics database. Hence the large catchment area for Brighton and larger population for Reading.

If we're allowed to throw in the population of neighbouring towns, you've got to take account of Fishersgate, Southwick, Shoreham, East Saltdean, Telscombe Cliffs, Peacehaven and even dear little Falmer village - all of which are contiguous with the City of Brighton & Hove. That gets us well above 300,000.
