Chelmsford awarded city status

[Nottseagull]

And again in English please?

It's already in perfect English. If you can't understand my point then the problem lies elsewhere.

Shock, horror.

I already thought Chelmsford was a city to begin with anyway? Isn't there a team in the Blue Square South called Chelmsford CITY?

What the local football team is called means nothing at all, there is also a Guildford City FC (and a Guildford City Swimming Club) but they are based in the County Town of Surrey, which is... er... Guildford (really not a City, missed out to somewhere called "Brighton & Hove" in the 2000 competition).

The highlight was 5 Live accidently announcing Reading as a new City this morning, only to retract it a bit later.

I had visions of scenes reministent of when Paris missed out on the Olympics, with the Mayor and his population on the streets celebrating, only to have their hopes dashed - with a thin drizzle falling and the crowds melting away!

Even better was when BBC Radio Berkshire announced Reading had won it. They had people calling in to say how exited they were, with one woman in tears with happiness....

It was once a city and was one (all be it for only about a week) the capital of England around watt Tylors peasants revolt in 12th century.
I live in Southend not that far away and find Chelmsford quite pleasant

It's not the only football club with City in it's name when it shouldn't have - there's also Guildford City FC and Elgin City FC.

And Welwyn Garden City and Letchworth Garden City have never been cities either.

Or White City

Don't be ridiculous! Are you now saying that Chichester can't be a city?

Arrogant little man. So... you start a thread suggesting that Chelmsford has been awarded city status and then try to belittle me because of that post a little further down. Whether Chelmsford already was or not doesn't mean we are all as smug and clever as you. Oh and I bet you know every city in this country without fail.

As I said... arrogant little man.

Oh dear, oh dear, this really does make you a bit of a halfwit now... doesn't it?

Why am I being ridiculous? I haven't said anything about Chichester, I merely pointed out that what the local football team is called doesn't always relate to where they are, and gave the example of Guildford City playing in the town of Guildford (a borough of which I'm a resident btw). Another off-topic example would be Grimsby, who play in Cleethorpes.

Has All Fools Days come early this year or what?

Only to you.

I think he's confused with his towns and city's, tried to belittle and has had an epic fail. Close the topic, save the arrogant idiots embarrassment.

Actually the belittling started when you suggested my English was unintelligable.
As I said... little hypocrite.

Oh dear... a little deflection there, good effort. Your city's are most certainly unintelligible as are you, so I'd prefer to stay off your horrendously excruciating fail. Have a good day.

Not to butt into this argument, but that was added today, by the looks of it.

Funny how the version of the Chelmsford page on wikipedia didn't mention that it was a city prior to today

Elgin IS actually a city. I used to live there for my sins!

You implied it here....

Maybe you should add one for Guildford Cathedral, for the benefit of Curious Orange!
