Worlds forst public railway, we invented communism (thats right its an English idea the ruskies stole) We are in the doomsday book, and lots of rich/famous people retire here

Wasn't t Karl Marx who invented communism? or did he steal it from you. Either way, the history textbooks suck balls in ONE of our countries. (either you never heard of Karl Marx or I never heard of your guy.)

Lincoln, famous for a cathedral that, before it's spire fell off, was taller than the pyramid of Giza. It is also home to one of the two castles in Britain which has two mottes, the only other one being in Lewes. It was also a very important city in Roman and Norman times, since it sat of a nexus of major roads such as the fosse way. There might be some other stuff but that's all I know.

I'm from Southampton, England.

From my own knowledge:
-Spitfires were designed and assembled here in WWII.
-Most of the city was levelled in WWII, due to it's strategic importance.
-The Titanic sailed from our port, which is one of the largest in Europe.
-The port was also where the Pilgrim Fathers sailed to North America from, on the ship "the Mayflower".

From Wiki:
-King Henry V's famous warship Grace Dieu was built here.
-There was also a conspiricy here to murder Henry 5th, shortly before he sailed to the Battle of Agincourt, which was known as the "Southampton Plot". The ringleaders of the conspiricy were excecuted in what is now the city centre.
-Jane Austen and Danny La Rue lived here, and it was the birthplace of comedian Benny Hill.
