Why is Brighton and Hove one city?
 
Are they each 1/2 a city ?  Confused

Being a Nottingham Forest fan for over 30 years (which by default makes me a nerdy, sad proghead), I wish to take the Mansfield bus from Glasgow, jump off in Nottingham 7 hours later, visit Brian Clough's grave, put down some flowers, have a walkabout in the town and then go to a match at City Ground before returning to Glasgow again on the bus. If anyone in PA from Nottingham could put me on a sofa for a night....... wink wink wink...

But my favorite city is Liverpool. I hate the accent, but the city itself is fantastic. And I have to admit that the Liverpool FC fans are the best in the world. My vote goes to Liverpool, the home of The Beatles.

Never having been "across the pond," LONDON, for all the history, landmarks, dead authors, and proximity to Jimmy Gee and his no doubt beer-stocked (wee) fridge. Big smile

London. I love the place!

Cambridge has some well deserved mentions here too, I see. Newcastle is also a fun place to visit. Not sure I would like to live up north though. It rains even more than it does down here.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I've visited most of them and the Scottish, Welsh and Irish cities are indeed unforgetable.
 
 
 
 
And believe me, I've tried. Pinch

I know it's a Welsh city and not an English one but we shouldn't forget the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish (and Irish, if you will) cities.

Picked Leicester from the list, but if York, Winchester or St. Albans had been listed I would have selected one of those.


Is Bath a city?  I guess it is.

And no Canterbury, from what I saw.

As for me, I've visited Bath, Bristol (lived there for two years), Oxford, Southampton and London.  Although London, as you know, is more like lots of small towns.

London has the music scene and is one of the most diverse cities in the world, so I'd probably go for that.  Some of my favourite music gigs have been in London.

I've been to Canada.
Not depressing, but a lil too much mayo everywhere for my tastes.

Never been to England either but I hear its quit mild, drab, and rainy.
Then again US is pretty depressing, hence all the drug use
The west is pretty depressing Stern Smile

Glosgow. I changed my mind. My Mom was from Glasgow. How do you think I got a crazt name like Ian? I even know why she named me. Ian It means God is gracious. Ian's are loyal & honest. They respect tradition. I also knew it was my duty to serve my country. I have reatives all over the commonwealth. I am also a fierce monarchist. So Glasgow it is.

Visited England for the first time last summer, really enjoyed London, but spent 3 days in and around Bath and absolutely loved it. Bath gets my vote. Hope to get back again soon and see more.
