    OK, times up.

    They all have more than one official capital or administrative centre.



    Somebody else set one, please.

    I don't know would you believe but Polonius it was. A wise man advising his son as he set out into the world. He also said

    Brevity is the soul of wit

    Method in the madness

    To thine own self be true

    And

    For the apparel oft proclaims the man

    2 minutes may well be a record! Well done - "a toast" it is.

    Your round.
