Correct?
Isn't Sutton Coldfield part of Birmingham? It seems the managing directors need to brush up on their geography...

Geography...
'Isn't Sutton Coldfield part of Birmingham? '
Try asking that to a person from Sutton Coldfield...

Watford City
When did Watford become a city (or many of the other towns mentioned here), or are they referring to Watford City North Dakota?

Sutton Coldfield
It's as much part of Birmingham as Croydon is of London. My auntie lived there.

A City?
Speaking as a brummie - Sutton Coldfield is (was??) part of Birmingham, but appears to have become a city overnight. How very asperational.

Sutton Coldfield
Sutton Coldfield (where I used to live) should be proud to feature 65th, since it has been placed in contention with "proper cities".
Of course, what actually happened here was that there was a single reply from a single firm in Sutton - and the people who conduct these surveys have no concept of the statistical relevance (or otherwise) of a sample of 1.

Sutton fiasco
Just to get the record straight for all the Sutton Coldfield geeks out there.
According to Birmingham City Council "Sutton Coldfield is a town within the city of Birmingham". This is because in 1974 Sutton was absorbed into Birmingham.
Therefore Sutton is certainly not a city, but a town, and I guess arguably not divisible from Birmingham. However, as a Brummie I can say that no Brummie actually regards Sutton as part of Brum. However, as no one gives a damn what Brummies think all of the above should probably be ignored.

Watford City, Part 2
I actually lived in Watford City, North Dakota (pop. 2,000) for a time as a youth. Don't knock it. The town doctor was a Glaswegian who emigrated to the US by way of Canada.
