Yeah but who would want to risk Cardiff or Coventry winning? :dread:

I would have voted for Cardiff, but as it's not on the list, I chose Birmingham, because I live there, so it must be best.

I would have. :cool:

Cardiff is a wonderful place to live. A lot of the benefits of living in a big city, without the hassle.

I'm always amazed that people from Birmingham get tagged with the 'worst accent' thing. The Black Country is worse than Birmingham, and the scouse accent is genuinely horrific. Any strong accent of any kind is generally awful, regardless of where it's from IMO.

It's from the list that Moggy posted, top 10 UK cities ranked by population (excl. London)

Birmingham 992,000
Leeds 720,000
Glasgow 560,000
Sheffield 512,000
Bradford 467,000
Edinburgh 450,000
Liverpool 440,000
Manchester 420,000
Bristol 380,000
Wakefield 316,000


Population figures can be very misleading due to city boundaries. Manchester and Birmingham are good examples. They are the main centres of vast metropolitan areas. When u include the whole metropolitan area the populations run into the millions.

Northampton where I live is another example. We have a tight boundary that runs around the town and now there are thousands of houses outside our boundary that are physically connected to the town but count under Daventry or Wellingboroughs population figures despite their towns being ten miles away.

Indeed, for example the population of Wakefield itself is only 77,000

There seems to be a distinct lack of options in a specific area of the country an area that is both North and East.

I used to tell everyone what a dump Birmingham was. Over the last decade it's seen an absurd amount of investment and regeneration and now it's strawberry floating brilliant.

I've not been to many of the others. Had a stag do in Manchester last year and I was honestly shocked at what a complete gooseberry fool hole it was. I went back with the Mrs another time when we checked out some of the posher areas which was better. It felt so dead at times though. We could walk for miles and see literally three or four people at any one time. The beggars are on another level there as well, absolutely out of their minds!
