Amount of Cinema oo tricky well I know it’s not the largest population cuz I think I think London and Manchester would would be more that’s correct um so I would say a weird one say like the first ambulance and possibly it was uh maybe called a city or named a city in

1207 was it yes both of them are correct you did good job thank you you did your study too yeah a little Bit and finally here we are at the ACC Liverpool venue in the Magnificent City in Liverpool on the 2nd of December all of the fim motorcycle world champions will be coming here walking through this door and collecting their medals and certificates this is where all the magic
