From Capital of Culture to city of gadget lovers, new research from the Gadget Show Live shows that Liverpool residents own more gadgets than those from any other city in the UK.
They polled 1,000 people and found that Liverpudlians, on average, own 40 gadgets, compared to 39 each in Cardiff and 37 in London.
Maybe you're wondering how on earth you get to 40 gadgets - have a look at the list at the end of this article and you'll see that all it takes is owning everything from a smartphone (no surprise), to a sunbed, treadmill and cupcake maker.
“Is it really that surprising that Liverpool has come out top of the tech list and that Scousers have such a love affair with gadgets?” commented the Gadget Show Live’s Spencer Hidge. “Liverpudlians are renowned for their love of music, football and looking good so it makes sense that top tech like sound bars, wireless speakers, 3D TVs and hair straighteners made it onto their list.”
The top ten tech cities in the UK and the number of gadgets they own on average:

1. Liverpool - 40
2. Cardiff - 39
3. London - 37
4. Leeds - 32
5. Manchester - 30
6. Birmingham - 27
