Why oh why is Stoke-on-Trent not on your list?!?!
 
OK, joking aside... I feel as though I should give Exeter a mention since it's the nearest city to where I grew up, Bristol as it's where I was born and York, because it's beautiful (and I have nice associations with the place). Oxford is ace too.

Haven't done the whole thread, but it's a shame that this city is missing on the list of a prog site
 
 
CANTERBURY
 
 
 
 
I would've voted for Bath, but I decided to vote where Jeffrey went (Leicester) >>> alsoi missing in the list >>> YORK and Durham

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I've only been to England once, but of the ones I saw, I was partial to York.

Back in the 70s I saw The Stranglers and The Skids in Oundle - most bizarre gig I've ever been to - I think the opening band was made up of everyone in Oundle who could play an instrument, there must have been over a dozen people on stage. LOL

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.

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.

Stern Smile nothing is more depressing than the USA - I can't speak for the rest of America because I've never visited any of those countries.

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

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.
