[edit] Towns / Cities

Regarding the British towns being referred to as cities - I know the set phrase is "Slow Cities" but presumably if a town of 50 people joined the scheme it would be described as a city? I guess my point is that the scheme is, by nature, open to ridicule from some quarters anyway, and to describe somewhere like Aylsham as a city is in danger of sounding very silly indeed. Do people in Britain really refer to them as "Slow Cities"? I doubt it. Bretonbanquet 17:53, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "slow towns"

Why does it say that cittaslow literally translates to 'slow towns.' The word citta' directly translates to city, not town. A town would be called a paese, and a city a citta'. I'm going to change this because it is wrong. ABart26 23:40, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
