LARGEST TOWN IN THE UK

I seem to remember reading somewhere that Bolton was the biggest town in the UK, does anyone know if that's still the case or as it got City status yet, can't believe the Reebok stadium and Wigan's JJb are only seven miles apart, been to both, but always had a feeling they were further apart for some reason.

It's Reading aparently with a population of 232k http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvan ... towns.html

It use to be Sunderland until a few years ago, I honestly dont know now.

I know the smallest CITY in the UK is St.Davids at the very tip of West Wales. Deliver there now and again. Beautiful place in the summer, effin' horrible at Winter time!

363,400 people live in Croydon according to 2011 figures so must be the largest town in the UK

Llandaff in cardiff is smaller surly?

The township of Roath must be quite big population wise. The Albanians love to cram them in.
