What if London...wasn't there anymore (A challenge)

[Caltarania]

Leeds or Birmingham, they are the 3rd and 2nd largest cities in the UK, and Leeds is already known as the capital of the north.

While Edinburgh is a de facto capital of Scotland, it has a much smaller population, and the logistics would be a nightmare.

1) Leeds

2) Leeds

3) Leeds

(Yes, I am from Leeds)

[The Scientific States]

1) Glasgow

2) Glasgow

3) Give them all tents while we built a shitton of council houses in the south-east, to balance out the poverty levels, and around major cities.

That only happens after a Rangers v Celtic game, especially the stabbing part.

But Glasgow isn't actually that bad a place, I should know.

Wooh! Weegies, unite! Nice to see another, though I'll have to ask if you're hun or taig?

Funny, I'm listening to a song about London while writing this.

On the underground...

No, This is London is the song I was listening to.

Someplace-upon-a-river.

If there was water flooding the area...correct me because I am kind of stupid...wouldn't river levels rise...?

[Britanno]

Manchester! The greatest city in the world.

Hun, but try to stay the hell away from that whole thing if you know what I mean.

Airstrip one. *nods*

Yeah those are big cities that have good economies.

You could throw in Cardiff and Liverpool as well.

I can see Cardiff becoming the UK's new corporate center.


I still stand by the Scots capital as the new Union capital. The first acts of union involved England (Wales wasn't really recognized at this time unfortunately) and Scotland. So Edinburgh.

I doubt it would be Cardiff. It's not really near anything. If they decide to make the new financial sector in a practical location, expect it to be somewhere in the Midlands with a large commuter belt and lots of international airports nearby, as well as quick access to other major cities.

Also, corporate center? Please hand in your passport now.

Make the capital Birmingham.

This kind of guff is another reason why Glasgow shouldn't be a contender

Seconded

I'd think Leeds would be, as I previously said, it is already the 3rd largest city in the UK, and the economy is growing (Apart from, you know, the burglaries...)

[Forsakia]

Leeds is already known as the capital of the north.

It's only known as that in Leeds itself.

If you throw a load of funding into Manchester, Salford and Manchester can merge to create a brilliant city. Although it would take a lot of funding to have decent buildings connecting the two.

You could do the same thing with Leeds and Bradford, with much less funding, because they basically are one city already. (Hence Leeds-Bradford Airport, etc)

Not as bad as it use to be.....or that's what my da says at least

This thread is going to turn into a My-city-is-better-than-yours thread . I suspect it will have some Rose war, too.

Everyone knows they're one city already. It's just a pretence on the part of Salford to say otherwise.

1) Exeter

2) Edinburgh

3) Divide them up between the main cities of England.
