that may be true

Manchester is too big for my liking though. I assume Leeds is big too?

Leeds is kind of weird, because it doesn't feel big, but it is. Most of the city is centralised (for example, just having one main train station, as opposed to the load that Manchester has). It's definitely smaller than Manchester, though, Manchester is starting to feel more and more like London every time I go there.

manchester isn't quite London, but it's surely too big for its own boots imo. Every time I go there, I feel like a sheep in a big city. Then I remember Manchester is full of shite.

Would like to see Leeds. If it's similar to Liverpool, Sheffield or hull I'd be happy there.

Well, London has a population of 8.539 million people. So, Manchester has quite some time to go before it catches up.

thats what I'm saying. It thinks it's a big city.

2.55 million is the population for the Greater Manchester area, the 8mil for London is probably including Greater London too

But yeah, still a way to catch up, but that's why I like the North, it's less focused just on one big city and instead is a network of different cities and areas.

Second largest city in Europe, my brev.

Slay Skyhighatrist

Leeds-Bradford is apparently the 21st largest conurbation in Europe though, so fair dues and that.

Ghent.

Actually it depends whether you consider Istanbul to be European or not. It's either:

1. Istanbul
2. Paris
3. London

or:

1. Paris
2. London
3. Berlin
