How many UK cities have you been to?
List them and tally them out of 68. Here is a list:
England: Bath, Birmingham, Bradford, Brighton, Bristol, Cambridge, Canterbury, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Chester, Chichester, Coventry, Derby, Durham, Ely, Exeter, Gloucester, Hereford, Hull, Lancaster, Leeds, Leicester, Lichfield, Lincoln, Liverpool, London*, Manchester, Newcastle, Norwich, Nottingham, Oxford, Peterborough, Plymouth, Portsmouth, Preston, Ripon, Salford, Salisbury, Sheffield, Southampton, St Albans, Stoke-on-Trent, Sunderland, Truro, Wakefield, Wells, Winchester, Wolverhampton, Worcester, York (50)
Scotland: Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Perth, Stirling (7)
Wales: Bangor, Cardiff, Newport, St Asaph, St Davids, Swansea (6)
NI: Armagh, Belfast, Derry, Lisburn, Newry (5)
I'm on 26 - Bath, Brighton, Bristol, Canterbury, Chester, Coventry, Exeter, Leeds, Lincoln, London, Manchester, Norwich, Nottingham, Oxford, Plymouth, Salford, Salisbury (I think), Southampton, St Albans, Truro, Wakefield, Winchester, York (23/50 in England), and then Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast from the others. About half of these visits are directly or indirectly related to Countdown. If I had money and a car I'd like to spend a few weeks doing a road trip around the UK and visiting every city for at least 2 hours.
[*Technically London has 2 cities, City of London and City of Westminster, but who can be fucked to arse around with that.]

20/68.
England: Bath, Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Coventry, Exeter, Leicester, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Oxford, Portsmouth, Salford, Southampton, St Albans, York.
Scotland: Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Stirling.
It's possible I've been to Truro. Loads of my childhood holidays were in Cornwall so it's likely I went there at some point but don't remember any details. I've also travelled through Plymouth, Stoke-on-Trent and Wolverhampton, but I don't think I ever got out of a vehicle at any of them.
And although I've attended COLIN every year since 2012, I've never bothered to go to Lincoln.

There are a few more that I may have been to (Coventry, Derby, Hull, Sheffield and Wolverhampton) but can't say with any certainty. I'm not sure if passing through them on a train counts.

That's really hard. I'll go through it properly later but I might have been to several and not remembered. Probably even harder would be counties.

Re: How many UK cities have you been to?
No, definitely not. I'm also inclined to not include train station changes here either (I didn't include Peterborough in my list) because whereas foreign airports/service stations etc do give you a little bit of insight into their respective countries, I don't believe that the vast majority of train stations give any insight into their cities.Jack Worsley wrote:There are a few more that I may have been to (Coventry, Derby, Hull, Sheffield and Wolverhampton) but can't say with any certainty.

Yeah, I'm a militant logger of travels but I'd struggle with counties - erm...Gavin Chipper wrote:That's really hard. I'll go through it properly later but I might have been to several and not remembered. Probably even harder would be counties.
Kent, Surrey, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, Dover, Dorset, Somerset, Cornwall, Bristol, Essex ( ), Suffolk, Norwich, Oxfordshire, Greater London, West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Nottinghamshire, Cheshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Greater Manchester, Bedfordshire. Think that's it.

Re: How many UK cities have you been to?
That would count. Although I would be a bit stroppy about someone trying to pretend Luton and Stansted airports count as London (Heathrow and City definitely count. Gatwick doesn't really count but I think it's the second biggest airport so I'd let it slide).Graeme Cole wrote:Why would an airport or service station be any better at representing its city than a train station?Jennifer Steadman wrote:I'm also inclined to not include train station changes here either (I didn't include Peterborough in my list) because whereas foreign airports/service stations etc do give you a little bit of insight into their respective countries, I don't believe that the vast majority of train stations give any insight into their cities.

Re: How many UK cities have you been to?
Do cities have properly defined borders? Presumably they do, but will people be aware of them? It won't be as clear to people as would countries. Also, I don't think the name of an airport is of any relevance, any more than if there was a shop that called itself the London shop and was nowhere near London. It's where you are - not what the establishment you're in calls itself.

Re: How many UK cities have you been to?
Absolutely fine. My visit to St Albans consisted of walking a few hundred metres out of the station, into the CoStAl venue, getting quite inebriated for a few hours, and then leaving to go and see Queen TayTay in London.James Laverty wrote:*My visit of Carlisle consisted of a trip to the Tony Carvery while on the way to Glasgow, along with a very brief walk.

Re: How many UK cities have you been to?
I can stretch to 57. All except Bradford, Durham, Ely, Hull, Peterborough, Ripon, Sunderland, Bangor, St Asaph, Armagh and Lisburn. I've probably given more priority to exploring these islands as compared to the rest of the world than most do, so it may not be entirely and age thing. Quite a few have been picked up whilst cycle touring and I should get a few more like that this year.
That sounds excellent. If I had that as an objective I'd probably want to get a photograph beside one of the notable landmarks in each city, which would mean starting again.Jennifer Steadman wrote:If I had money and a car I'd like to spend a few weeks doing a road trip around the UK and visiting every city for at least 2 hours.
Re: How many UK cities have you been to?
Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Coventry, Durham, Hereford, Leeds, Leicester, Lincoln, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Oxford, Salford, St Albans, Edinburgh, Belfast, Derry. Never even been to Liverpool or Sheffield. Or gone south of London.

Had to think about this a bit but I think this is right:
England: Bath, Birmingham, Bradford, Bristol, Cambridge, Chelmsford, Chester, Durham, Hull, Leeds, Lincoln, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Peterborough, Portsmouth, Ripon, Salford, Sheffield, Southampton, Sunderland, Wells, York
Scotland: Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Stirling.
I've been to Wales a few times but never near any of the cities and have never been to Northern Ireland, so in total 30, which is a bit rubbish really.

Must be strong correlation between those who live in the north having visited a majority of northern cities and those in the south visiting very southern cities.

I came on here looking to see if Countdown in Nottingham was still a thing, having discovered it is one of about 3 places you can get to from nutty Norfolk.
I have been to 58 of these cities - as with Clive, the UK is our usual destination.

Countdown in Nottingham is never a definite 'no' for the next year, just a 'very unlikely unless someone else wants to pick up the baton'.
Also I'm up to 31 now thanks to CoCam earlier in the year.
