Wrexham. 
Perhaps, rather than give our status back, [MENTION=144]goldstone[/MENTION] could move to Throbbing-under-Gammon. It sounds like the sort of place he'd be inordinately happy in.

At least Crawley were rejected. Wouldn’t have been having that.

It’s all comparative. Perhaps I should be offended that the town of Brighton was given city status ? It’s not Liverpool is it

Colchester? Charming place for a weekend away. The combination of the squaddies versus the travelling community makes for something akin to the wild west in the town centre!

Wrexham is many things and that includes, most definitely, being a town

Was Wimbledon awarded City status and MK just stole it off them?

Went out with a girl from St Osyth back in the 1980's and we had a charming drink in a Colchester pub with not a stick of furniture in it.
Apparently the Paras had visited for a free and frank discussion with the locals the previous day...

I think it is a fantastic gesture by Her Majesty the Queen, and it will bring many benefits and opportunities for the residents of these new cities.

Very good friend and ex-work colleague of mine is married to a Fireman who had to cover Wrexham.
Apparently Summertime fun involves setting fire to settees etc., dragging them out into the street and then luzzing bricks at the Fire Crews.
Presumably this is the Brixton/Toxteth route to City Status?

Apparently the right to chuck objects at Fire Crews...

Enjoyed going to the Racecourse Ground and then heading out quickly towards more picturesque North Wales. Snowdonia etc
