Daydream Believer Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 What is it with the "City of culture" thing that means only shite cities go for it now? And if Hull beat you to the title, surely you'd burn down your own city, salt the earth and never return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really about the particular town or cities current cultural state, it's about attracting regeneration schemes/investment there in order that it can develop into less of a **** hole basically. Thats why you'll never see cities like Edinburgh or London win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
