    Next year Londonderry will hold this award with Derby & Stoke on trent thought to be competing for the honour in 2017. Can anyone tell me what the point in this is?

    I hear it is to bring money into these cities but I can't see loads of people flocking to Londonderry (or Derby/Stoke) because it has been given the title City of Culture.

    That was priceless.
