Which of these crap towns should become a city?
The nominations are:
Bolton
Bournemouth
Chelmsford
Colchester
Coleraine
Corby
Craigavon
Croydon
Doncaster
Dorchester
Dudley
Gateshead
Goole
Luton
Medway
Middlesbrough
Milton Keynes
Perth
Reading
Southend
St Asaph
St Austell
Stockport
Tower Hamlets
Wrexham
One of these will be made a city at the Queen's Diamond Jubillee next year. For the sake of argument, I would give it to Chelmsford, because it has a cathederal and their football club are already ambitiously called Chelmsford City (don't know why). But there's not one of these that wouldn't be mildly ridiculous.
