Kind of ridiculous to use municipalities as a way to measure this; Manchester is rather larger than quite a few cities higher up on the list and the inclusion of e.g. Wakefield (most of which is made up of old mining towns; the city takes up less than a quarter of the population of the district!) is risible.

I know the entire list except for Wakefield (#89).

Wakey itself only has a population of 77k so that's not surprising. Interesting old place; lot of history, lot of character. David Peace's Red Riding novels are set in and around it.
