Real body, or did we make it up?

Britain runs on arm's-length bodies, and some are genuinely indistinguishable from parody. Eight names a round: call each one. Every real body comes with its gov.uk page, because you would not believe us otherwise.

▸ How to play
  • Eight names a round - half exist, half are ours.
  • Real bodies link to their actual gov.uk page on the reveal.
  • Invented ones are labelled as ours, always.
  • Play as many rounds as you like. The register is deep and getting deeper.
