Iits true, we did. But I'm not sure they're still holding a grudge against us.

I wouldn't bank on it, we still can't mention the war.

I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.......

My "usborne guide to jography" instinct tells me that a city did traditionally used to be by definition a dwelling with a cathedral. Over the years size of population dictated, and then there was this royal charter to grant a number of status's (or statii) a year.

For what it's worth, and to partly answer Bruce's question - though I suspect he knows the answer, I'm not sure Preston has got anything different to us since it was classed as a city. Apart from some new fancy signs.

Sounds like a load of balls to me

Hasn't there been an application for city status from Bolton every four years for the past twenty five years (well, twenty four, for all you pedants out there)?

Indeed. You'd have thought that a hint may have been taken by now!
