Bath, Bristol or London.
Didn't mind Birmingham... Exeter is nice but not great, and Plymouth is the pits. Don't actually think I've been to any others... oh no, Reading. Yeah... that's... not great. Edit: oh and Leeds. That was alright.

London and Birmingham are my faves. :love:
Leeds is awesome for shopping. Liverpol has a generally really nice vibe and it's super picture-esque. Bournemouth and Portsmouth are beautiful scenery/holiday places.
I'm going to Bristol soon (not been before) and I've heard good things about it. :amazed:
I found Edinburgh and Manchester overrated.

Bristol is amazing, especially on summer. By far the best city in UK.

Brighton, Bournemouth, Portsmouth but not Southampton? They wont like that down there.
About ten years ago I had a job that took me all over the UK and Ireland. I didnt realise how beautiful this country was until then so I like most of the cities listed.
Um... Brighton, Nottingham, Sheffield, Birmingham (yes, really) and Glasgow (yes, really), maybe?
Belfast, Edinburgh, Bristol and Manchester all seem nice but I've never spent much time in any of them. Guess I'd have to give some credit to London too.

I don't know why but I assumed Southampton wasn't as big/popular? :laugh: It's somewhere I am planning on going next year too though.

Yes @ Glasgow, it's a little trashy in parts (where isn't?) but it's actually really nice/friendly and the shopping area is great :love:

London/Glasgow
I've been to Edinburgh but I'm not a huge fan.
I've been to Newcastle but only really to the Metro centre. I love Sunderland though. I've been to York and Brighton, but can't really remember them.
Never been to Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Portsmouth, Bournemouth, Sheffield, Liverpool, Bristol, Cardiff or Oxford.
Bristol, Edinburgh and York are the nicest of those I'd say but London is a completely different animal to any other UK city which I'm never sure if I love or hate
Bournemouth is a town as well :whistle:

Liverpool and London.
Liverpool, may sound silly but I love customer service there! Like the people in the shops ask you how you are etc that's rare these days!
& London because it's London, amazing city.
Where's the UK City of culture?

Liverpool is one of my choices Jonnii - it's an amazing city with such really down to Earth friendly people as you say.
There is so much to see and do there as well, and I love the Beatles so I always get a sense of history walking along places such as Penny Lane.

Yeah exactly, everyone's chatty and nice. Makes a change from going in a lot of shops and the employees look miserable as sin (like here)!
They always pick up on the Welsh accent too and make a fuss :laugh:
I love Albert Docks and the area around the Liver Buildings, could sit there for hours!

I've spent hours down by those docks Jonnii and was mesmerised by the Liver Building when I first went to Liverpool because I'd seen it so many times on TV in the opening credits of 'The Liver Birds' - a comedy.
I could not believe all that anti-pigeon netting though. :laugh:
I must confess I love Wales too - and I always find the people there ultra friendly.
Which part of Wales are you from Jonnii? If you don't mind me asking, my Grandfather was from Tonypandy in the Rhondda.

Aw thank you! Yeah we can be a friendly bunch!
I'm from near Wrexham, North East Wales so about an hour on the train from Liverpool. I've never been down to South Wales where your Granddad was from, only as far as mid! Never even been to my own capital Cardiff, shocking really!

Cardiff is awesome, you should go!! Really big/classy shopping area with lots of nice restaurants and bars. Especially at Christmas time with all the markets as well. :flutter:

I couldn't include them all :worry:

I agree about Cardiff - it's changed out of all recognition from the 60's/70's.
So has Merthyr Tydfil that once grotty ex-mining town not far from Cardiff. I could not believe what the landscaping has done to those once ugly pit spoil heaps.
Wales is a really beautiful country though.

London, Manchester & Newcastle from that list are the ones I enjoy going to most.
I also really like Blackpool!

Blackpool? Yeah, you can still have some fun good times there - Funny Girls especially - but the old place is in serious need of revitalising.
Liverpool is basically home and I love it there it's just really lovely in places like L1 and the docks :flutter:

Voted for Manchester and Newcastle :love: London is very overrated imo. I'd say it's a good place for a short visit because of the shopping/sights/theatre but living here I dunno, it's extremely overpriced, and it's not the friendliest of places.
