Apparently Worthing, Hastings, Eastbourne and Crawley are all bidding for city status.

Why?

It's not made much of a difference for Brighton and I kind of like my old home town of Worthing being just that.

Waddya reckon?

I saw that.

Welcome to the City Of Worthing.

What a load of shit! We'll end up like the yanks; 'Welcome to the City of Smithfield, population 326'

 

[Woodchip]

Arse, never saw the bottom option for None.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Burgess Hill

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Bolney

May I be the first to suggest BUXTED?

May as well get it out of the way.

 

[Scotty Mac]

what a load of shit - quite how any of them can qualify as a city i dont know

 

[Stinkers Bridge]

May I be the first to suggest BUXTED?

That's a jolly good idea.

 

[Bob!]

Is CHICHESTER a City already?

That ought to be the next, surely? (Yes, I Know it's nearly Hampshire!)

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Yes Bob, Chichester has long long been a city.

Here is a photo of Buxted City Centre, yesterday...

[Pevenseagull]

you can say what you like about Labour right royally f***ing stuff up left right and centre and sticking their noses in the trough in a despicable manner

but at least Brown thinks it would be nice if more towns became cities, even though it means f*** all

that's enough to secure my support

Is Arundel a city?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Is Arundel a city?

No..

 

[Les Biehn]

No..

But it has a Cathedral.

 

[Monkster]

But it has a Cathedral.

So has Bury St.Edmunds & thats not a city

 

[Gwylan]

But it has a Cathedral.

That's a Catholic one though - papists don't count

It's also a myth that places with cathedrals are cities (or that all cities have cathedrals). For example, Brighton and Hove is a city but doesn't have a cathedral.

Towns become cities because the monarch of the time says they are.

 

[hart's shirt]

Give it to sleepy Firle.

 

[The Large One]

Arundel, however, ought to be the next city. Or Lewes.

To my mind, it's for their (relatively) historical importance.
