What's the biggest UK city you've neve been to?

[Heifer73]

Leeds

 

[rich p]

We prefer not to dwell on that

We?

 

[MontyVeda]

I think it sorta based on municipal boundaries. So presumably including Morecambe and the thriving metropolis of Carnforth

...

A big area then...

 

[Dayvo]

We?

Think he meant piss wee.

Er, as in small.

For me it's Sunderland. Maybe I should take a visit. After that it's Hull

 

[Mr Celine]

If passing through on a train / motorway counts it's Bradford, otherwise it's Birmingham, but I have been to the two smalles cities on that list.

I grew up in the fair city of Perth, which is mysteriously missing from that list.

 

[Fnaar]

Bradford Liverpool Manchester, from near top of list. Have only been through Leeds on the train.

 

[swansonj]

I'm not still on it, and haven't got off a moving train, so yes it did.

I think most of the train journeys concerned included stops at the stations in the cities concerned.

Among people who collect countries, I believe there is a "cup of coffee" test. You can only count having visited it if you've spent long enough there to buy a cup of coffee.

Edit: I seem to recall the other part of the test is that the cup of coffee has to be outside the airport too - transit through an airport doesn't count....

It's like that in the USA now. Terrible coffee.

Among people who collect countries,

Hitler, Napoleon, Putin - that sort of person?

 

[swansonj]

Hitler, Napoleon, Putin - that sort of person?

You forgot to include Bush....

 

[stephec]

What if you don't drink coffee, can you count beer instead?

 

[DaveReading]

Is there a bonus for living in the UK's largest non-city?

[QUOTE 3767736, member: 9609"]Anyone got an answer to this ? Can I say I have been to London if I have been to Watford or anywhere within the M25 ?[/QUOTE]
I would take it they mean Greater London, the City of London would be packed solid with that many people in it.

 

[Thomk]

Can't remember ever going to Sheffield but that might just be a comment on Sheffield. Shame because I can zoom down quite a bit after that.
