2012 City Status competition

And I could live with a much smaller picture for Wolverhampton.

Indeed....what a bad picture...

Telford looks more like a man then a city.  Is Brighten and Hove built entirely on the pier?  Also does Dover have anything besides that lighthouse?

Telford is Thomas Telford after whom the town is named since the town didn't have any pictures of note and isn't particularly famous for much.
Brighton's pier is super famous.
As are the white cliffs.

[Sheilbh]

I think Brighton's more famous for the pavilion:

But these are all very provincial cities.  I wouldn't expect anyone outside the UK to know of almost any of them.  I didn't even know of Telford and I wish I didn't know about Dover

Enormous castle, largest in the UK.

Also largest passenger port in UK.

Look, I don't even know where half these places even are.  I'm judging by the picture that Tyr posted.  He posts a photo of a city with horse drawn wagons, I assume it's a city with horse drawn wagons.  He posts a picture of Dover that consists of a cliff and a lighthouse, I assume that Dover is a cliff and a lighthouse.  He posts a photo Telford that appears to be a man sitting at table, I assume that Telford is in fact a man siting at a table.  I don't understand your damn customs.  Maybe your inbred monarchs decided to give this man his own area code or something and now he may qualify as a city.

Raz, your saying your unaware of Dover, it has figured rather prominently in several British naval and cross-channel interventions.

Incidentally, here's a picture of the castle and ferry port in background, both are quite big:

Dover is so famous the French even have a word for it.

[Ed Anger]

Ugh, Brighton.

[PDH]

Poll is worthless with pics.

[Admiral Yi]

Sitting on the rocks at Brighton doesn't look like much fun.

I was partly joking.  I know where some are.  Milton Keynes, Reading, Dover, Inverness, Shrewsbury, Brighton Beach, and a few others.  Other like Presely and Telford I have no idea.  I don't actually know what most of those towns actually look like though.

There's a lot of green space around that, doesn't really look like a city.

It's quite common in English towns and cities, besiders castle slopes tend to be wooded or grass.

Ugh, Brighton.

That's where I wanted to move.

I'm confused by this definition of city as I've actually been to some of those places.

Dear god man, what's coming over you ? 

You do realise that it's the only UK constituency represented by a Green Party MP ?   

Surely that'll be enough to revolt the old Garbon ?

It is our San Fran and he loved living there.

That's a particularily unflattering pic of Preston, which I thought was quite nice when I visited RH.

I thought of something even more unflattering at first- googling Preston brings up pictures of the singer.....
