Just a few feet from my stern doors is a statue of Shakespear and the incription mentions something we are all aware of ........Shadow !
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more.
Perhaps someone has the answer or maybe the administrators can do a quick search.
All best wishes, Patrick. |

However, I have done it out of interest anyway, and give a list hereunder of the TOWNS listed (if you don't agree that these are towns please speak to the PTB (Powers That Be)) London 2119 photographs, York 704, Lincoln 549, Whitby 539, Oxford 518, Bath 489, Great Yarmouth 427, Liverpool 423, Stoke Newington 373, Keswick 362, Hartlepool 344, Kingston Upon Hull 340, Worksop 327, Brighton 281, Eastbourne 280, Rye 268, Portsmouth 266, Scarborough 265, Beeston 264. This is correct at 6.00 pm (18h00) today, so unless Ron has uploaded photos whilst I typed this it should be OK, lol.

Marjorie Pope Posts: 6710 Joined: 13th Apr 2010 Location: UK | quotePosted at 19:40 on 15th August 2010 The following are cities: London, York, Lincoln, Oxford, Bath, Liverpool, Brighton and Portsmouth. |

Seeing the amount of picture taking here in Stratford on Avon prompted me to ask the question. I suspect Whitby is high on P.O E because of a certain member. Cathyml ........I see that you hinted that the name Towns should be Cities so please ignore anything about being wrong ! Regards, Patrick

However are you sure that Brighton is a City - I don't think so but am happy to be corrected.

| cathyml Posts: 23275 Joined: 25th Jan 2010 Location: South Africa | quotePosted at 20:19 on 15th August 2010 OK I googled it and it reports that Brighton is a major part of the City of Brighton & Hove which is made up of the previous towns Brighton, Hove, Portslade and several other villages. So it would appear that Brighton itself is not a City but that Brighton & Hove (and all the other little villages) are a City. ??? |
