    Great city.

    Too many cities I haven't visited to make an informed decision as to whether she is the greatest though.

    I picked all the realistic options.

    But Chichester isn't a city so it can still be the greatest town along with Portsmouth as the greatest city!

    I think it is a City if it has a cathedral...

    Not that it makes it nicer than Pompey <sorry>

    Aha, you say that but Chelmsford has a cathedral and was only made a city last year! But I didn't realise Chichester was a city, you learn something new every day.....

    There are elements of Portsmouth that are very attractive - obviously the dockside area and old town. On the whole I prefer Southsea to Portsmouth. And before you all start, I dated a nurse in Pompey and spent all my weekends there in the 80s - had some fun times.
