The name of the city is entrenched in the law of the territory. Nothing has been done to amend the legislation. Nevertheless even well before (perhaps 20 or 30 years) the 1997 transfer of sovereignty, the name had fallen into disuse. The urban area had expanded eastward.. beyond its limits as stated in the statutes, along the northern stretch of the island.. And most people refer to different parts of island, no matter within or outside the city by the names of the areas (neighbourhoods). Central is one of the areas within the city. Other areas in the city include Wan Chai, Sheung Wan, Shek Tong Tsui. Jul 06 08, 5:01 AM

In 1893, Queen Victoria issued a Coat of Arms to the Colony of Queensland. When was the last time prior to that occasion a Coat of Arms was granted to a British colonial possession, who granted it, and to which colony was it granted? When Victoria became Queen of England she had an uncle that was passed over for the throne. If Elizabeth II and Charles, his sons and Andrew would be killed, then Andrew's daughter would be Queen, passing over Anne. Why is it that the British throne passes over the first generation females but not the second? In an East European capital, a Mexican painting of an Englishman on a wall has been painted over and repainted with the original subject several times. What is the city, who is the subject and which more famous tourist attraction is it near? Since when has Edinburgh been the capital of Scotland?
