I always thought a town with cathedral = city automatically which I'm sure Colchester does. I could be wrong on both points.
Wasn’t it a cathedral AND a something? Like a university?
I probably assumed Colchester was a city because of its name - I’m sure we all learnt in history perhaps inaccurately that Chester was a Roman word for city, but i suppose even then that was hundreds of years ago and things change
Or @Administrator . I'm not fussy.Could a kind @Moderator split the posts about NEW CITIES. Thanks!
What sensational claims.Well MK can’t compete with that
We DO have a Roman villa site though, as well as Bletchley Park so without MK we’d all be speaking German.
Very large indoor skislope too - i believe it is or was the biggest in Europe, mainly because the rest of Europe has mountains for that
Site of Cliff Richard’s Wired for Sound video, and bits of Superman IV
What sensational claims.
In fairness, Wired For Sound is perhaps Cliff Richard's best song

The inclusion of Doncaster was baffling and rather cheapened the event, even more than the capital of a penguin island or the location of a burnt out leisure centre.Shiny new thread 4 u.
The title reflects my bitterness that only Doncaster was tipped the nod, and Doncaster is fucking SHIT.
Even Sinitta's knickers are a city now?the location of a burnt out leisure centre
We've been asking people to do that for years. Summerland would have actively improved the scenery.Please explain Doncaster.

For the North or the Midlands, why not Northampton, Leamington Spa, Warwick, Telford, Shrewsbury, Halifax, Blackpool, Stockport, Warrington, Birkenhead or Huddersfield?
I like that it has a sign identifying the islands.

I LOVED the H and V’s when visiting my Nan as a child.Everyone takes the piss but it’s just roundabouts - it just means we don’t get massive tailbacks at rush hour so
Bath is a beautiful city, but every single time I’ve driven there from 5pm onwards it’s been gridlock hell
