capital city anagram

justaclue, do you mean the anagram has to be of another country's capital city which has since been changed to something else?

Your question seems ambiguous

The exact question reads "Which country has a capital whose name is an anagram of a former capital?"
I took this to mean a former capital of the same country, but you now have put some doubts into my mind!!

Kyoto was once the capital of Japan, and is an anagram of Tokyo. Does that help?

Hi justaclue

Full marks to lezzles, this is why I think he is spot on.

Kyoto is Japan's third largest city and also one its oldest. It was originally founded as Heian in 794, and had its golden age during the court's heyday from 794 to 1185. Home to many cultural landmarks and historical sites, Kyoto is thought of as the heart of Japan. The city still bears the name Kyoto, or "Capital City," even though the emperor and the National Diet are located in Tokyo. For most of Japan's history, Heian was the center not only of government but of learning and the arts.

The Kyoto/Tokyo deal seems right to me as well

Yes i shall definately be going with that, thanks for your help

For the record, he's a she

What a mistake to make Duchy!!

Evidently another CAB quizzer. I'd come up with Japan as well. If you've got any idea who Mr & Mrs Tough are and what their catchphrase is I'd love to know!

Mr & Mrs Tough are the Krankies - is it something like Yabadabadozee ?

Fan-dabi-dozi

Thanks for the help.

My parents actually knew Mr & Mrs Tough were The Krankies (didn't think to ask them!). However, they have apparently recently changed their catchphrase from Fandabidozi to Fandabidoooooooooooooooooo and we're not sure which one to go for!
