The most popular dog names are all female names. Odd.

I don't think Madagascar's flight belongs on the list, except if you're disregarding the white band on the left hand side.
Similarly, if you include Haiti then many other countries with emblems and coat of arms on their flags qualify as well.

Are the small errors and omissions included to make the lists more unhelpful? For example, in the flags, you could include Estonia (three horizontal) and Peru (three vertical), and leave out one Mauritius (four horizontal, not three vertical). No need to apologise.

Cantley Gardens is in Croydon. I am not sure of your definition but I assume that enables you to add to one list.

I have a feeling that the list of MP elected in 1826 isn’t 100% accurate.

All of those 2026 DJ's - Rickie & Melvin and Charlie, Matt & Mollie, Katie & Jamie - Don't they have surnames?
Wouldn't recognise a photo of any them. Where's Top Of The Pops when you need it?

Given your recent achievement of travelling to every London Borough in a day, I am slightly concerned that one of these lists could be combined with that achievement to produce a challenge that, if attempted, could potentially prove medically risky.

No longer with us list, I can't unsee his name as Brian Can't.
Radio 1 2026, 8 presenters - can't they be trusted to present by themselves.

Trying to remember if I could include Acton in my tally. That flat was mostly memorable for being cold.

Some of the album titles are very dull - like they just gave up trying to think of anything so left it as 'Songs' and 'Title' or the number of albums they're up to (III, Five)!
Interesting in the rise of abbreviations for titles after 2000.
'Ta-Dah' made me smile - perhaps the band were especially pleased with its completion. 1st album perhaps?!!

First Central line train on a weekday looks like the 0456 Loughton to Epping, and the first District train the 0442 Ealing Common to Ealing Broadway. Pedantry on the internet? Whatever next!

Boroughs: I never appreciated that you enjoyed swing-era dance (Carolina or Collegiate), or indeed that it might be available as an event as many boroughs.
Mondays: 53 week years are a consideration in financial accounts, implemented about once every 7 years to stop the defined financial drifting to earlier months. A 53 week year does not have to be declared in a year with 53 Mondays, although that would be a sensible diktat to reduce "gaming" of financial accounts, see also the "one day diddle".
Aviation: The in service date of A300 is slightly older than 50 but ultimately more impactful commercially and geopolitically than Concorde.

1964: Golden Wonders 'Salted' Crisps. Which saw off the traditional Smith's 'Unsalted Crisps - with a little blue bag' within a year.

Did you miss KP Outer Spacers?
Ah they crisps?
There doesn’t appear to be a Wikipedia entry for them, but I’m guessing they were a cash in after Star Wars.
Chutney flavour, so very futuristic.

The Scottish monarchy continued until 1707. So there were 7 Jameses, 2 Marys and 2 Williams: James II of England was also James VII of Scotland, and so on.

re 53 Mondays, the usual numbering convention is that the week containing the New Year is allocated to the year in which the Thursday of that week falls - that meaning that at least four days of the week (Mon-Sun) fall in the right year. Thus if New Years day falls on a Thursday, that year will have 53 weeks (as there will be 53 Thursdays in that year, New Year's Eve (of the same year, ie 12 months later) falling on either Thursday or, in a Leap Year, on Friday) There will also be 53 weeks in any Leap Year in which New Years day falls on a Wednesday. Thus 1/7 + 1/28 = five years in 28 have 53 weeks (disregarding the Century rule)
To quote Arthur Dent on the day his house 9and later the planet) was demolished "I never could get the hand of Thursdays"

Radio 1 in 1986 is by far the best line up in your list. Mike Read was the best of all the breakfast shows, Simon Bates and 'our tune' was an institution (factories would stop work to listen). Steve Wright's show was brilliant and would carry on being so for many more decades. I would easily waste my whole day back then listening to 275-285 and even carry on into the evening with Kid Jensen's show. I have to admit that I rarely listened to John Peel, all too weird for me I'm afraid.
