Something to do with parish council or not. I know a city ha sto have a cathedral.

How many kids are you going to have?

It's based on amenities. A hamlet has a pub and a shop, village couple of different shops, post office, church along a main street. Town is a small group of main streets with a range of shops and services, city has a cathedral and a large amount off amenities, parks etc.

I know a village needs a church, if not it's a hamlet. Cranleigh in Surrey is allegedly the largest village in England and that's about the same size as the town I live in. We have only had a town council for a short time but have always been classed as a town. So it's not population or physical size. The parish council argument seems good to me. Cities don't need a cathedral to qualify eg. Brighton & Hove. You just have to win a selction competition now. Reading is favourite for this years new city (Diamond Jubilee present!)
