Jay Foreman is a treasure, before my first trip to the UK I watched his videos and they were some of the most informative ones there. Both for learning how to read a tube map and also getting some of the history

How hard is the tub map? It's literally just a bunch of lines with the stations on them.

Aren't we lucky to have the brits to make fun of for such things?

meanwhile in America: Let's run this street down a cliff because a city needs to be a grid.

This is also the case in The Netherlands. I live in a "city" with 15.000 residents, whilst there are "villages" with 100.000. Just because newer places(?) never got the ceremonial title of city.

Is the tldr that theyre old as fuck?

Edit: the tl;dr is they're specifically talking about Britainland only. tl;dr @ 2m54s

Every BRITISH city on the official 'City' list was named by the King at some point.

Tldr is that the official term "city" in the UK is pretty much entirely ceremonial.

All it means is that the ruling monarch liked your town enough that they would give it city status by royal decree. That's why "city status" seems so arbitrary because it's entirely is.

Up until 1889, city status was granted on the basis of the existence of having an Anglican cathedral.

It's only been arbitrary since they tore up the rulebook and gave Birmingham city status.
