Have you defined London?

I would imagine that most County sporting associations would be based on very old boundaries, so I'm afraid you can't have Havering, Redbridge, Barking & Dagenham, Newham or Waltham Forest because they belong to Essex.  :demon:

More impressively, the village of Stotfold [pop. 6,000] is on one Gold with another to come. 
I'm gonna limp to the pub and drink 'til the rest of me is as numb as my arse.

Never heard of Stotfold, but Australia should adopt it.  With a pop of 22,000,000 we can only manage to equal the might of Stofold.  These olympics are quite forgettable - on at the wrong time of day and no golds.  Worse, the motherland is having a blinder.  Ho-hum.

Stotfold also boasts a Commonwealth Games gold medal in a not-cycling sport but seems to have missed that chance of olympic gold.

Yorkshire could beat Australia with one arm tied behind it's back while drinking a cup of tea.

If Yorkshire entered as a country, they'd be tenth in the medal table.
