We have a smattering when the enthusiastic have started them but it’s patchy.

Naming conventions: use your best judgement but go with what makes it easiest for people to find - if there’s more than one name go with the English for now and you can save the, for example, Welsh one for a Welsh-language community.

edit: as discussed in the comments, you may be better off with a more regional community first - those like London, Manchester and Liverpool already function like that as they cover the greater city area. So instead of Chelmsford and Southend, start one Essex; instead of Lancaster, start one for Lancashire. At least initially until things really get going here. That list is over here.

The list:

  • Aberdeen

          Unless we consider the Tower as a cathedral for light entertainment (I have Peter Kay live from their in VHS and am open to this line of thinking)…

            YES! Peter Kay live from Blackpool. That can only have been the ‘Top of The Tower’ one. I remember seeing it years ago but was on Dave a year or so back. Hilarious!

              That propelled him to The Big Time. So many people saw it eventually (it was on Channel 4 quite a bit of you hadn’t already got the home video release). I was in the vegetable aisle of a supermarket and a man turned to his wife and said “garlic?” and a voice from the next aisle shouted “bread?” Everyone killed themselves laughing.
