Guest guest30085 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Are we only talking major cities? There's plenty of cities but a lot of them I couldn't imagine going to or perhaps know it was a city Have been to Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast ..... I haven't been to Cardiff .... I once got as far as Aberystwyth if that counts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ptp113 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Liverpool and Glasgow (Burrell Collection) but little chance or wanting to go back to Blighty, so very unlikely.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjg Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I've been to most, missed a few little ones I'm sure. Of the big ones i only really missed Glasgow. But had no, and still have no desire to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbsy Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I've seen most of the major ones but I'm another one who's somehow managed to miss Liverpool. I really need to see the Cavern Club and then take a ferry across the Mersey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need to see the Cavern Club and then take a ferry across the Mersey! The cavern is ok but the ferry is just a boat trip over a river with a city in the background. A visit to the maritime museum at the docks is a much better use of your time there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Liverpool too mind, got my parents there for the first time last year (in their 80s!) - they were a bit reluctant to come but loved it. I have been to almost every major city in the UK, followed a lot of bands and Middlesbrough speedway (every single home and away fixture one season!) but the one place I've never been is Manchester - my OH reckons that's a good thing. I've been very close - had friends that lived in Altrincham and nearly made it a couple of times - had hotels booked for the Commonwealth games and then got no tickets!

zk2102 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I had to look up a list of the Cities! I'm shocked to see that I've been to so many, but would love to visit York & Liverpool before we move next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickyplum Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I'm trying to visit the ones I haven't been to, in the next 6 months or so - next stop... Liverpool! (in November, brrrr).

Lol,i can just imagine the curtains twitching slightly when i knock on your doors LR,pint of milk left out,and a flyer in the letterbox for effect,ie we're NOT home!:twitcy::wink: Yeah i know theyre very different,Glasgow Dublin and Liverpool very similar in attitude i find from the people ive met,similar black/harsh sense of humour,Edinburgh fancies itself the classier of the two Scots cities,again,thats just going on people ive worked with and met Its a disgrace i havent been up there yet tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritChickx Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I want to see more of London and I would really like to see Dublin, Belfast and other Irish cities that look interesting. I've been to scotland now, been to most places down south, from lands end to norwich, and i'm not that interested in seeing other cities up north, maybe liverpool but that's about it. Went to blackpool as a kid but that'll be the first and last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Newcastle was going to be a dump for some reason, but really liked it, a good mix of modern and old and in parts a very handsome city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people still think its a dirty industrial city. We're lucky to be a short drive to the coast and beautiful countryside. I love it, it's home! I'm glad you liked it Red Rose. Oh I've just filled up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't put Newcastle on my list, but I quite liked it when I went, have been a few places in the North East (mostly sales calls with my old job) there's a lot of nice areas, Durham was my favourite though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to take my daughter there on the train when she was little, she loves it too. Harrogate is another place I love, not a city but worth a visit. I was delighted when my daughter moved there a few years ago. A few of the cities I've only seen because she's an army wife! Like Norwich, Ipswich, Bath, which is beautiful, Hereford, which is not a pretty city but the surrounding countryside is stunning in places and Winchester, also beautiful. Glasgow and Edinburgh were hen night visits! Cardiff, medical for my visa, Liverpool to get my daughters passport in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Bath is good,not as good as bristol,but good,ahhhh the times i had in bath in The Griffin pub,slept with a ronald mcdonald lookalike barmaid for a week,because i had no £ on me for a hotel or digs,the last boss was slow in paying me,because i'd spent all friday in the pub(i was in me 20's,its allowed ffs),then i told him i was leaving:rolleyes:,so he messed me £ about for a week,got it in the end. I used to try and get in before her,then pretend to be asleep when she got in bed(after her darts match),but she just used to shake me "awake" anyway,and that was me rent:embarrassed:for shame!:wubclub: She kicked me out in the end,for trying to cop off with her flat mate:twitcy:,i'd been paid by then tho,so it was ok,proper translucent she was ronald,see through with pronounced blue veins:wideeyed: I went in,and came out the other side,and survived tho:jiggy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
