Just to stand up for Graham a bit, I for one would like to know that
a "delightful English town" I'm planning to visit is really a city, and
may have some of the problems that cities have more of than towns
[grammarians please forgive that lapse] - i.e., (perhaps) crime, noise;
on the other hand, planning for a city visit envisions ease of
transportation that might not be so available in a "town". Forewarned
is forearmed.
