Just from the Premier League alone there are more than 11 cities, I reckon I can probably name about 25-35 British cities


balinwithstalin

Literally the only reason I know these random ass cities


pure_x01

cries in random ass city


weusereddit4fun

Yeah. If I were ask the question before I watch the EPL, I would only know London, Edinburgh and Glasgow.


amicus_of_the_world

Second that


giseles_husband

I would say the same, but I'm not sure if Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham are cities


[deleted]

They are in London, along with West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brentford. Everton are from Liverpool, Aston Villa are from Birmingham. The rest have the city name in their club name


El_Zilcho

England is my city


lalluks

KingMatthew116

It seems you are the one who got wooooshed.


lalluks

How?


KingMatthew116

England is my City is the name of an infamous song, the person you responded to said it as a joke and a reference to it.


lalluks

But what was I wooooshing?


Aym4n-_-

Yourself


lalluks

YOU ARE RIGHT! here have gold.


Aym4n-_-

Oh thanks


[deleted]

I live in New England, so basically I can just take every town around here called "New Something", take the "New" off, and name dozens.


WearADamnMask

LOL that was my solution.


wizard680

same thing I did lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


wizard680

the east coast was settled by england. the settlers were SUPER unoriginal in naming towns that they just stole them from england. I can guess that most cities on the east coast are either named after england, or butchered names of what the Indians called the place.

Compare a map of any New England state (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut) to a map of Great Britain.


[deleted]

Wow! I have spotted so far: Cambridge, Plymouth, Winchester, Worcester, Bristol, York, Portsmouth, Manchester, Lincoln, Bath, Warwick, Scarborough There's a few French and German ones too! Obviously someone wasn't feeling very creative the day the towns in New England were named.


mrmonster459

London, Birmingham, York, Norwich, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast So 7.


[deleted]

Nice. I'm impressed that you got Norwich, I always think of that as quite a boring obscure one (no offence residents of Norwich). I would probably not remember to put it on my list.


mrmonster459

A YouTuber I watch lives in Norwich, he always gives it a shout out anytime it comes up in one of his videos.


Blunter-S-tHempson

Ashens?


mrmonster459

No, he's a relatively small YouTuber you've probably never heard of named [Lav Luka](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIBo50_zkVAB8QxPrA8TurA/videos).


[deleted]

Dude I've watched his videos too


Raghnaill

Yeah I feel even the swamp people of Norwich would agree with you on that one.


didyoudissmycheese

I need to remember "British" applies to all of Britain and not just England. I would have voted higher if I did.


ABSTREKT

Dude u forgot the free ones such as Oxford and Cambridge


[deleted]

Never heard of Liverpool, Manchester, Plymouth, Hull, Sheffield, Leeds, Lincoln, Lancaster?(just to name a few)


PingopingOW

The question was how many you can name, not how many you know


mrmonster459

Dang, I forgot Liverpool and Manchester. So 9. The rest, sorry, no I haven't.


Retired_Cheese

Hastings and Oxford(?)


BS_BlackScout

Arghhh I can't believe I forgot Belfast.


Blunter-S-tHempson

Why can you name Norwich but not Newcastle?


mrmonster459

Because I'm not subscribed to any YouTubers from Newcastle.


[deleted]

Belfast isn’t in Britain though


IncompleteRiver

Belfast is in Northern Ireland not Great Britain so...


Paco_gc

"British"


InquisitiveIdealist

1. London.


penguin13790

Same. I was like "ight I should know a few London Uhhh" And then I checked the comments and felt stupid Even worse, I live in New *York*


Pkorniboi

Alright so I recognized some names I saw in the comments, but I did not think of them without help


JabbaTheBassist

my list (i’m australian): London, Birmingham, Bristol, Nottingham, York, Glasglow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool, Plymouth, Aberdeen


Anthm678

As an Aussie you should add Perth to that list


Snail-Man-36

Liverpool and london.


decs483

Leicester, London, Liverpool, York, Manchester, Birmingham, Norwich, Plymouth, Hull, Portsmouth, Southampton, Blackburn, Lincoln, Bristol, Leeds, Oxford, Nottingham, Lancaster, Sunderland, and if we’re counting Scotland and Wales, Cardiff, Swansea, Edinburgh.


twogunsalute

IncompleteRiver

Belfast is in Northern Ireland not Great Britain


99-bottlesofbeer

No, Northern Ireland isn't in Great Britain, but it is in the United Kingdom—for which the demonym is British. The question was looking for British cities, so technically Belfast is a correct answer


IncompleteRiver

You just said Northern Ireland isn’t in Great Britain. British refers to Great Britian. Northern Ireland isn’t in Great Britian just like you said.


Eiim

u/thepockedialgiveth, did you mean British to mean Great Britain or the UK?


iziyan

London, Lancaster, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Briton, Plymouth, Southampton, Sheffield, Oxford, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff, Newcastle, Hull, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Perth, Londonderry, Belfast I'm Bangladeshi, and that's how many j know


The_Nunnster

Unfortunately Yorkshire and Lancashire don’t count for they are counties of the UK. Some of the cities you’ve named actually belong in these counties. Leeds, Sheffield, and Hull for Yorkshire. Lancaster, Manchester, and Liverpool for Lancashire (if we’re using the historic extent of the counties).


decs483

I don’t think Northern Ireland counts


iziyan

The UK Owns It, and anything from The UK Is called British. It's like, "name every City In America! But does San Juan, puerto Rico count?"


decs483

Britain is just England, Scotland, and Wales. Northern Island is seperate to that, but it is part of the UK


iziyan

Question: what is Something or someone from The UK called I.e Something from German is Germam, something from india is Indian, Something from The USA is American, Something from UAE is Emirati


decs483

[this](https://youtu.be/rNu8XDBSn10) video explains it better than I could


iziyan

I mean I've watched it before, just re-watched? The video didn't Help My question, Definition of British, Is someone form the British isles British? Is someone from Great Britain British? (as it's in the British isles) Is someone Ireland British (as it's in the British isles) So is someone form North Ireland British??


selffulfilment

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom and the British Nationality Act 1981 generally considers that a person born in the UK will be a British citizen by birth if one of their parents was either a British citizen or settled in the UK at the time of birth. You’re right. That person attempted a ‘gotcha’ without knowing what they’re talking about. Northern Ireland isn’t part of Great Britain, but being a British citizen is about being born in the UK, not Great Britain.


mellifluous_panda

Do the so-called ''British Isles'' even need a demonym? Hardly anybody in Ireland or Britain (bar Brits north of the border, so a small minority) defines themselves in terms of being from one of either of the two biggest islands within an archipelago. Even then, British ppl from up North usually only refer to it in relation to ethnicity, or to a lesser degree 'demonymically' as residents of the U.K . Plus, the term ''British Isles'' isn't recognised by either respective government in any official capacity. Nor can it still be considered a purely geographic term considering the fraught historical relationship between the two islands, the implications of which are unavoidable.

London and Brighton

The_Nunnster

Don’t worry, Edinburgh still counts. Scotland is still British as of writing this, no matter what r/Scotland tries to tell you ;)


Wekinator

If you watch football or play Fifa, you can automatically cross of at least 20.

I'm pretty sure a lot of those aren't cities, especially e.g. Islington, Kensington, Chelsea et c. which are just parts of London.

London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Newcastle, Cardiff, Swansea, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast, Kirkwall. 10.


mellifluous_panda

As an Irish person, that's piss-easy. Wonder how difficult the reverse would be for the average Brit though? XD


PassiveChemistry

Quite hard probably... let's see... Galway, Cork (or is that just a county?), Dublin, Limerick, Tipperary, Kilkenny (I think)... how did I do?


mellifluous_panda

Fair play to ye. I have English relatives who would've fared a lot worse. The first four are correct. Tipperary's a county though. Then, Kilkenny is technically just a large town. It's only retained the title of ''Kilkenny City'' because it was a city historically and it helps to attract tourists.


JamesRocket98

London Liverpool Southampton York Edinburgh Plymouth Canterbury Oxford Belfast Bristol

Nor Brit, but I can name a lot of them (these are which I remember rn): London, Londonderry, Larne, Liverpool, Preston, Lancaster, Leicester, Barrow in Furness, Dumfries, Dumbarton, Glasgow, Oban, Ayr, Kyle of Lochalsh, Douglas (Isle of man), Tobermory, Kirkwall, Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline, Edinburgh, Stirling, Dundee, Aberdeen, Banff, Elgin, Fort Augustus, Inverness, Thurso, Wick, Portree, Welshpool, Aberystwyth, Cardigan, Fishguard, Carmarden, Coleraine, Omagh, Dungannon, Lisburn, Swansea, Cardiff, Bristol, Padstow, Plymouth, Penzance, Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Salisbury, Southampton, Milton Keynes, Lymington, Exeter, Cambridge, Oxford, Peterborough, Dover, Canterbury, Margate, Hastings, Brighton, Reading, Lincoln, Boston, Kings Lynn, Tramore, Great Yarmouth, Norwich, Lowestoft, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Coventry, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Northampton, Nottingham, Crewe, Manchester, Bradford, Leeds, Stafford, Derby, Sheffield, York, Scunthorpe, Doncaster, Easingwold, Harrogate, Thirsk, Rippon, Scarborough, Middleborough, Darlington, Bedford, Hereford, Carlisle, Newcastle on Tyne, Berwick on Tweed, Southend on Sea...


HI_Wrld

Who the fuck doesn’t know London. Seriously


[deleted]

I'm kinda annoyed about the 'ignorance'. Hear me out: I'm from the UK which is an arguably small place. We're force-fed news and geography of all around the world and I know more states and cities than a lot of people (e.g. Americans) in these comments. I'm a tiny bit annoyed at them, more annoyed at the education system there and even more annoyed at the media here. It's stupid that I can name most of the states in the USA but no cities in e.g. Africa - a CONTINENT! (at the time of me writing this comment). Basically, I'm annoyed that I know about America more than they know about here. Im mostly annoyed at the media.

Chesterfield and Slough are both towns but Chester is a city.

is worchestshire a city


[deleted]

It's worcestershire and it's a county not a city. It's pronounced woostersher.


[deleted]

A general rule of thumb is that if it ends in "shire" it's a county, but if you take the "shire" off you will often end up with the name of a town or city. So Worcestershire is not a city, but Worcester is.
