What An Awful Bunch of Wanabees
I’m not talking about the latest Big Brother or X-Factor contestants, but the towns that want to be cities to mark the Golden Jubilee, according to this article on the BBC.
The list is as follows.
Bolton, Bournemouth, Chelmsford, Colchester, Coleraine, Corby, Craigavon, Croydon, Doncaster, Dorchester, Dudley, Dumfries, Gateshead, Goole, Luton, Medway, Middlesbrough, Milton Keynes, Perth, Reading, Southend, St Asaph, St Austell, Stockport, Tower Hamlets and Wrexham
I always thought that Milton Keynes was a city already.
In addition, Chelmsford, Medway, Perth, St. Asaph and Wrexham already have cathedrals, so doesn’t make them cities anyway?
