A bit off topic..Which English cities do you know

XanderF · 04-25-07, 12:07 AM

Reply without reading, huh? More interesting that way, anyway. And for 'English', I presume you mean 'UK' in general?

London, Glasgow, Greenwich, Cardiff, Norfolk, Suffolk, Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, Hartlepool, right off the top of my head.

London, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow

Sorry couldn't help reading some of the above. Many of the places mentioned aren't strictly cities but what the heck.

If you want five in which I've spent most time etc. here they are:

Newcastle, Bristol, Cambridge, Bath, Wells.

I should say that I dislike cities, particularly large ones and avoid them like the plague given the chance!

EDIT: Ooops, you said other countries! Doh!

No I'm a bit of a chauvinist I always mean England

I just wondered if people from foreign parts knew England better than the English knew foreign parts. I'm inclined to think they do.

Or perhaps the Americans were cheating by taking the state name off their city names or removing the 'New':hmm:

Only kidding

London
Dover
Nottingham
Stratford-on-Avon
Oxford
Lancaster
Manchester
Lincoln
York
Plymouth
Portsmouth
Leicester
Worcester
Colchester

Could probably think of a few more, but I don't have much time.

What's wrong with Reading - some of Berkshire is quite nice!

One for the Brits there

:rotfl:

No Brit, but once you pointed it out...

Okay let's see. Well, there's London. And then there's...uhm. Oh, what's that city called....Glibwich or something? Dover? No, those are cliffs. Oh, Birmingham is one! *does a little dance* Ipswich....I think. Or is that a street? Crumpetville? Limey Town?

Meh, London and Birmingham are all I can come up with. But, hey, I live in Mississippi. The fact I can name even ONE city in England should give me extra points.
