UK cities without cathedrals include: Bath, Cambridge, Hull, Lancaster, Newport, Nottingham, Plymouth, Salford, Southampton, Stoke-on-Trent and Wolverhampton. Swansea as well UK towns (and one village) with cathedrals that aren't cities include: Bury St Edmunds, Chelmsford, Blackburn, Guildford and Southwell. It seems size isn't important any more nor is the fact you have a cathedral . Apparently the Queen has to confer the status on the place. You can tell I am a North Walian and can never feel happy every time Wrexham gets turned down. I think it must be my age . We have just got our Green card for Montenegro and Bosnia . Counting the days down

cathedral
Hi Jackie I think that was the old criteria for cities but I am sure it doesn't exist now. I was thinking Swansea only has a roman catholic cathedral same as Wrexham . I am not sure about Hull I shall do some digging.

return to the UK
Ah just before we leave for Europe . We have the train booked for the 26th April and have just got our Green Card just in case. We also needed to pay for fully comp insurance for both Bosnia and Montenegro . Didnt fancy third party at the border at all. We love Gabby too much to find ourselves with third party and something happening to her. The weather has much improved today. The rain has gone finally but it is still a wee bit chilly. I wonder what sort of homecoming you will get after next weeks fiasco with Brexit. Have a good journey home .
