How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?

That music takes me back.

If the ermine do get shifted to York, that Black Rod's gonna have to get a move on.
I suppose one way of moving parliament around is to move it every ten years - that allows employees some security, allows the right kind of buildings to be leased and at a reasonable price, and without the faff of moving people about every 6 months.
Government de-Londonisation is the other side of this coin - Home Office to Preston, MOD to Lichfield, Justice to Chester, DEFRA to Carlisle, Transport to Plymouth, Health &SC to Stoke-on-Trent...

Send them to Coventry
think of the security offered by somewhere like the Falklands
What about protecting Britain's interests by moving to Gibraltar.
What about the British Antartic Territory?
Penguins are the only living creatures more snooty than British politicians((((penguins))))
Really? I suppose this is a joke.York feels like a very good choice as it's such an ancient city. They should send parliament to Lincoln for similar reasons.
Where would you like it to be, "up North? Do you have in mind Shetland? Orkney? Aberdeen? Or do you mean Newcastle or Durham? Or York?Yeah, but nonetheless I think moving the HOL up North is a very good idea.
Likewise St. Andrews. Cathedral a bit bashed up by now admittedly.Counties. There is more than one county named after york. Oh and generally a city is a city because it has a cathedral not because it has a large population, see eg St asaph
oh No! Not another New York.If York's infrastructure can't cope, maybe there should be a purpose-built new capital in the region, along the lines of Canberra or Brasilia - it'd be an ambitious project, but I think it could be done if they had a new York state of mind.
Partially. It's never going to happen anyway. It's been mooted before. They would never move out of London.Really? I suppose this is a joke.

York is really not "up North".
Bolton, Barnsley, Nelson, Colne, etc...
Why won't they build this instead. It looks dope.

Actually rail links and rolling stick from the North West to York and the east coast are shite tbh . Moving a proportion of the transport budget for London to the North would be more appreciated than moving the House of Lords .York seems odd, but makes sense in transport terms, very good rail links to most of the country (and especially to London).

Milton Keynes, surely? It could be the UK Brasilia!
