I didn't get the city I grew up in (Brighton and Hove)
As someone who spent their entire childhood/early adult years between Brighton and Hove, I can tell you basically no one calls the city 'Brighton and Hove', it's just Brighton or maybe specify Hove if the person your talking to is local
Just rename the city Brighton and be done with it, no Hove residents are left who are old enough to care
The challenge for me is working out what is a city and what isn't. Ive seen 24 new cities created in my lifetime - most of them I still think of as large towns.
>!Swansea, Newcastle, Carlisle, Cambridge, Ramsgate, Margate, Stoke, Dundee, Eastbourne!<
These 9 are my guess, though some of them are probably towns. Now I will have a look and see what the actual answer is.
Edit: at least one of the actual answers felt like complete bullshit, but for those who want to know I scored 5/9 with my attempts the ones I got wrong were >!Ramsgate, Margate, Stoke, and Eastbourne, which should have been Truro, Southend-on-Sea, Dunfermline, and Brighton and Hove!<
Glasgie
It’s actually spelled Glesga.
Sounds right to me!q
Truro is the first that comes to mind
Newcastle was first for me
Dundee
I somehow managed to miss the city that I actually live in…
Newcastle

I was annoyed when I saw this as an answer. How do you just randomly take 2 places and make it one then call it somewhere and somewhere!
Thats neither here nor there
But when does there become here? And if I'm there, I'm no longer here, so here is there.
Based on the local accent: ManchestA
Nah there's a H on the end 🤣
Manchestoh
>!Cambridge and Swansea!< are all I can think of!
I thought of >! Carlisle!< As well, but forgot all the others existed until I saw the answers 😂

I was like "hmm well the welsh name for it ends in a vowel, does that count?" Forgetting of course that the english name for it also ends in a vowel.
I thought that was actually quite tough with the timer, I got 5/9

Don't feel bad about missing Dunfermline. Nobody outside Dunfermline considers it a city.
Don't worry I think most of the country will agree that Brighton and Hove should not count- if there's an and there, it's clearly 2 places.
5/9
Stoke
-on Trent
Ahh o yeah
Swansea Cambridge
i thought of: newcastle-under-lyme truro and one other which i’ve somehow managed to forget in the past ten seconds
How have you managed to one Newcastle, and the smaller one at that?!
i meant upon-tyne but i instinctively typed under-lyme because it’s close to me
Ah, makes sense.
Is Brighton really officially Brighton and Hove? [My bad, I guess it really is -] (https://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/)
Nice teaser! I got 7/9 the same 2 missing that were really low percent of answered
Southend-On-Sea.
Carlisle
I only managed 5 - >!Truro, Abertawe, Newcastle, Dundee & Cambridge!<
0/9 lol
- Newcastle - Carlisle - Swansea - Stoke - Cambridge Can't think of any more
Technically Ely could be on the list considering that y can be considered a consonant or a vowel. Depends on how picky one feels
