Great quiz. My only frustration with British city quizzes is that, with the way cities are officially defined there, there seem to be several major towns that don't qualify, and several tiny places that do (no-one ever says they're going to visit Westminster, for example; most visitors would have no idea they are even there when they go to this small area of central London). A quiz on all towns and cities over, say, 50,000 or 100,000 people, would be interesting.

Yeah I couldn't agree more with that. Very weird how it works here, I think it's something like the Monarch can just delegate a town to be city, and then it becomes one or something. Very peculiar.

If I find some freetime, I may have a go at all over 100k, that would certainly even things out a lot!

Same thing here, it has to do with city rights, im not sure exactly how it works (something in my mind tells me they needed to have (had) a city wall too...)

I believe you need a cathedral to gain city status

That certainly was the case once, but not anymore. Hull, Leeds, Preston, Stoke, Sunderland being ones I can think of without.

But then there are towns with a Cathedral, that don't have city status. Blackburn, Bury St Edmunds, Southwell.

They just did another batch of cities this year, and my local town and another nearby town lost out (Warrington and Crewe) - But neither have a Cathedral (which wasn't the reason they didn't gain city status).

I think for the time being no further cities will be added to the list of 69... why might that be? ;)

Bangor (Northern Ireland) seems to be missing
