A fool and his money..... Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 49 minutes ago, Roger Mexico said: It's really just the Pope's way of saying you're really an add-on of Liverpool But Liverpool has two cathedrals of its own. Douglas is one behind. They'll have to repurpose the sea terminal as Paddy's wigwam. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peel = Town, Douglas = City. If you're relying on a Papal Bull for city status Peel had that in 1253. Personally, I think they're both cities and Tynwald should just declare that they are. No need to look to London or Rome, we don't pay taxes to them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Helmut Fromage Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 @Amadeus it’s an expensive vanity project really - you’ll drop it into conversation to blow smoke up your own arse - Douglas doesn’t need to be “crowned” as a city 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
