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

    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.
