I think you were the one who missed it.

Actually, I could afford a car, but choose not to have oneLOL - as odd as it may sound.

The same for me, actually. Except that I can't afford a car or drive one. Embarrassed (I've got a licence though. Approve)

That's true of a lot of university cities, but if you're going to be run down by a cyclist, it's more than likely to happen in Cambridge


...much safer in the pub

Northampton isn't a City. Geek
 
Picked Leicester from the list, but if York, Winchester or St. Albans had been listed I would have selected one of those.
What?

Never been to Bristol, unfortunately - and I'm afraid I'm not likely to, in the short term at least

I'm sure I've missed a few... But these are the ones I've visited and are probably the key cities in England For any of you who've either had a holiday here or live here like me, which is you're favourite?

Personally for me, it's Bristol. Quality music scene and a very beautiful city in places. BIG as well, lot's to do.
