If there were nicknames here for towns and cities like they have in America

[RichB]

what's this one?

Auld Reekie is Edinburgh from when they used to chuck all their shite out the windows into the street

You might want to check out the latest centre for cities report. London has the worst air quality in the country. Sunderland & Newcastle have joint best in England.

So why the caz??

There was a loch where Waverley station is now that was stagnant due to the shite that was poured in

The CAZ is just central Newcastle, and the central motorway is horrendous at rush hour. These stats are done across the whole of the local authority area, so the outer more rural parts offset the more polluted bits.

So why the caz??

To make people pay an unavoidable tax. Profiteering. Like what they done over Gateshead on that 100 yard stretch as you approach the left turn for the tyne bridge. Just another way to extort motorists.

 

[Chubbs]

Gateshead - baldyland

 

[PinzaC55]

Afghanistanley.

[ivanthereasonable]

Andover = Robbertown. French, i know, but only one i could think of.

 

[journeyman]

Donny for Doncaster

 

[Rupert The Fridge]

Sunderland, either “ City By The Sea” or “City of the Twin Resorts “ ( yes , I’m a Northsider)

Newcastle, can think of plenty…. Virtually all derogatory

 

[RTRsBM]

Nobody has ever said Scarbados out loud

Just about everyone in Nottingham calls Skegness SkegVagas. Some even call it Vegas. Unbelievable but true.

 

[CheersMarra84]

Durham - The City of No Eateries

Sunderland - Blue Pop River

Gateshead - Our neighbours punch horses (Nar honestly)

Newcastle - IslamaGreggs

Why is London called the smoke? Greenest city in the world and doesn't have the heavy industry of other cities.

Because of the Smog back in the day

To do with chimneys and smoke dating back to 1800s

 

[mikem]

Teesside being universally known (well, around here) as Smogland seems to have been overlooked on this thread.

 

[Motor City Cobra]

London - the smoke

Washington - washy or ‘the land of the lush lads’
