  7. There is no official second city of the United Kingdom, nor is there any official mechanism or criteria by which such status could be conferred. Citizens and civic leaders of rival cities often argue over their conflicting claims to this accolade. Commonly, a country's second city is the city that is thought to be the second most important, usually after the capital or first city (London, in this case), according to criteria such as population size, economic importance and cultural contribution.
    Birmingham has generally been regarded as the second city of the United Kingdom, since around the time of World War I,[1] with the largest population and GDP (List of cities by GDP) outside London. Since 2000, however, Manchester has been quoted as the second city in some public polls, media references, and global city rankings. The rise has been attributed to Manchester's growing culture, media, music, sporting and transport connections.

    Manchester now :thumbsup:

  14. I entered the gravy wrestling championships in 1978. Unfortunately I was knocked out of the first bout by a rather hefty and lumpy onion gravy, (non of your poncy pan jus back then) by 1 fall and a submission.
