A comprehensive list of definitions of some of the words in the English language, some of which are particularly UK centric, but then these are definitions from the British radio programme "I am Sorry I Haven't a Clue".

[ permanent dead link]. Uxbridge ( / ˈ ʌ k s b r ɪ dʒ/) is a suburban town in west London and the administrative headquarters of the London Borough of Hillingdon. Situated 15.4 miles (24.8km) west-northwest of Charing Cross, it is one of the major metropolitan centres identified in the London Plan. [2] Uxbridge formed part of the parish of Hillingdon in the county of Middlesex, and was a significant local commercial centre from an early time. As part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century it expanded and increased in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1955, and has formed part of Greater London since 1965.

Much of it was covered by oak and elm trees, which were gradually cleared by early settlers.

[105] The Grand Junction Canal opened in 1794, linking Uxbridge with Birmingham and the River Thames at Brentford. By 1800 Uxbridge had become one of the most important market towns in Middlesex, helped by its status as the first stopping point for stagecoaches travelling from London to Oxford. The development of Uxbridge declined after the opening of the Great Western Railway in 1838, which passed through West Drayton. A branch line to Uxbridge was opened in 1856, but it was the opening of the Metropolitan Line in 1904 which restarted Uxbridge's growth by giving the town its first direct link to London.
