Just being nosey.

We live pretty much equidistant between two.
Today, we went into Cambridge.

Which is the closest city to you?

Perth

But almost as close to Dundee

Between Sheffield & Doncaster.

It was Lincoln 😀 now it's bloody Doncaster 😞
Waves at @moonriverandme who looks to be relatively local

Well I live in Melbourne, so the nearest city is Canberra.

About the same for me to get to stoke on Trent or Birmingham

Same here. Although Sheffield isn’t too bad a drive either.

Don’t Geelong or Ballarat count as cities, then?

Wow thanks for all the replies, so interesting to see where we’re all scattered around 😆

Manchester is about 9 miles away. There all the time :) it's town to me.

caringcarer · 27/12/2023 23:27

Birmingham or Lichfield. I'm sort of in the middle of the 2.

Show quote history

Hadn't thought of that, but no, not really.

Finallybreathe · 27/12/2023 23:51

I’m equidistance between Coventry & Birmingham.

Income · 27/12/2023 23:58

London (in it so does that count?)

Second nearest I think is Brighton?
