He got you there!!

**sequenci** · 28th May 2008 18:50

I've not been that taken by Stoke when I've visited, perhaps I've been shown the bad parts or something!??!

You haven't been to the Monkey Forest then?

**kennythecelt** · 28th May 2008 19:42

I had a great narrowboat holiday icon

, leaving from near Stoke on Trent, which I think is fairly close to Stoke. The countyside and folk I met were fantastic.

We all had a great time.

**barracad** · 28th May 2008 19:48

No Stoke on Trent isn't close to Stoke. Stoke is in Stoke on Trent. But Stoke isn't the city centre of the city of Stoke on Trent. Simple.

Anyway Sequenci, why do you want to meet up at a market? Perhaps a pub would be better and there would be more interest icon

in your thread then...

hahah you crack me up!

Stoke's somewhere near Manchester isn't it? <ducks as barra takes a swing at me>

Midlands sounds good to me.

**barracad** · 28th May 2008 23:39

Manc = Up North
Brum = Down South
Stoke = Midlands

**caro** · 28th May 2008 23:47

Brum's up north as well. Middle of England here. British National Image Library Display of The Midland Oak Leamington

**barracad** · 28th May 2008 23:53

I'm afraid your source is wrong.

Stoke is the centre of England.
Centre of the world, in fact.

**MilkTrayMan** · 28th May 2008 23:53

Peterborough is in the Midlands.

...

**caro** · 28th May 2008 23:58

But Peterborough is not the easiest place to get to. Brum is central for trains, planes and motorways network, or maybe you could advise better on transport links MTM. Is Stoke the centre of the world?

What venues might be considered. Pubs not much good to drivers and expensive (as is petrol

)

Not even fairly close- remember distance is relative when you live where I do.

So its kind of like a modern day Atlantis then, only north of Mancs and South of Brum and no where near Stoke on Trent and off the road to Peterborough, an illustrious and well know neighbour?

Does it have any famous football teams or history of manufacturing? Were any well known historical figures born there??

Whats its main purpose these days? (ouch! I know it will be sore when it comes!)

Sequenci suggested we should meet at a market.

The main purpose is acting as the centre of the universe.

Sorry to dampen your enthusiasm, which is highly commendable BTW, but not according to this- (Stoke did not get a mention, maybe they got it wrong though.)

Where is the centre of the universe?:
