British Cities

[Lat-Literal]

Thank you for all the contributions on football teams in cities without the word "City" in their name. There is a surprisingly high number of them. See also Wolverhampton Wanderers, Aberdeen, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Dundee, Dundee United, Oxford United, Cambridge United (although there is also a Cambridge City), Newcastle United.........etc. On Brechin City, Brechin is often described as a city because of its cathedral and its status as the seat of a pre-Reformation Roman Catholic diocese. Sadly, I don't know what United in Manchester United stands for historically. The word "Honolulu" would be a great addition to the name of a team - eg Sutton Honolulu United - but not teams in cities which could easily be a "City" .

Oh yes.

St Davids is very similar.

Golchwch eich ceg gyda sebon a dŵr

No doubt a phrase used daily by the millions who live between Caerbwdi and Caerfai.

... ah well, the great 1875 Ninth Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica [vol xxiv : URA-ZYM, 1888 ] notoriously had the stub section with the curt cross-reference : "WALES - see ENGLAND"

Understandable - especially if you are Northern Irish.

The best way of achieving it when in the city of St Davids is to drive to the Landsker Line for a view of Anglia Transwalliana.

Understandable - especially if you are Northern Irish.

Oh yes.

City boundaries transmanche do seem to be moveable feasts. The last time I visited Canterbury I was surprised to note it had a coastline.

Heavy rain?

[Alain Maréchal]

It incorporates Whitstable and Herne Bay.

[Anastasius]

Yes, by land area the largest is, apparently, the City of Carlisle …

And the poorest !

Or is it the wettest ?

Which is the largest town not to be a city?

Presumably London.

BIG MISTAKE!

Sorry. I'll change the title.
