Just being nosey.

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

Which is the closest city to you?

Wakefield is actually closer than both, but I havn't quite hit my head round it being a city, even though it's been a while now!

Just the 130-odd years. Wakefield became a city a year before Birmingham did.

...and five years before Leeds.

If it wasn't for remaining anonymous us Bath ladies should meet up- there are tons of us!!!

Oh go on. We used to have meet ups in London years ago. I want to hear all about it!

Perth (Scotland, not Australia)

Apologies @FatOaf. I was getting confused with Doncaster, which became a city last year. No offence meant.

St Albans

Plymouth.

I am on the very outskirts , next street over is the boundary to the South Hams.

Salford

London and I love it.

Crikeyalmighty · 28/12/2023 13:06

@davros. I would love to do it- personally I'm not a secretive person , so if anyone wanted to look at my various issues- lol I really don't care. It's a great way of meeting people you are likely to have something in common with

Geneva, though it's in a different country to the one I live in!

Hello @EspressoMacchiato 👋🏻

York. Like it despite never having lived in a city before.

curlycat · 28/12/2023 13:59

Right in the middle of Glasgow and Edinburgh but Stirling is slightly closer

Tie between Winchester and Oxford. Although Reading is close by...

Reading isn't a city. Although it was (and may still be) the largest town in England, I think.

Andnowshesatoddler · 28/12/2023 14:52

Near Sheffield.

SuitYouSir · 28/12/2023 14:55

Edinburgh. We live near the coast but can be in town in 20mins. Best city in the world and I’ll never move.

MrsAvocet · 28/12/2023 14:55

Carlisle, though it barely counts. Nearest proper city is Newcastle.

Deathraystare · 28/12/2023 15:06

London, innit?

PickAChew · 28/12/2023 15:28

Durham but my nearest city city with city things is Newcastle.

Tarkan · 28/12/2023 15:30

Dundee and I go there fairly regularly since it's the closest for M&S to my town. I always treat myself to a Taco Bell before doing my food shop in M&S. Blush
