Chichester is a city (but please note that the necessary connection between a city and a cathedral only stood until the mid nineteenth century - an deven then, it was only ever presumed, not legal)

At least the number of cities in Sussex is growing.
Unlike Kent, which is run by clowns.

The cathedral city of Rochester has lost its city status after eight centuries because of an apparent oversight.
The one-time Kent city - a favourite of Charles Dickens - has now lost that coveted status.
The alteration in status occurred because of an administrative error four years ago, but did not come to light until earlier this month.
The slip-up was discovered by the City of Rochester Society, which found that it was missing from the Lord Chancellor's list of UK cities.
The change actually happened four years ago when Medway became a unitary authority.
The old Rochester-upon-Medway City Council was asked if it wanted to employ charter trustees, who would protect the city's status.
Mayor Ted Baker, whose first day in the post was Thursday, said he was horrified.
"It's like saying the City of London isn't a city anymore.
"Rochester received city status in 1211. A city is a city."
Now the only way for Rochester to regain its status is for the Queen to grant the honour.
New cities were created over the millennium and for the Queen's Jubilee.
City of Rochester Society members have written to the council to ask it to write to the Queen to restore Rochester's status.

On a similar note, when Stirling was recently awarded city status, the Queen came up for the ceremony and to sign the appropriate documents at the ceremony. Unfortunately, somebody forgot to bring a pen...

I'm not sorry to add this, but the devil must have created Kent!
