Please explain?

Because it's there on the list, and most major cities you see today were esablished because of the Romans. It's that simple, really.

bejing? baghdad? mexico city?

Why don't you just vote Rome? if that's your opinion.

Yes, anyway, it's interesting some people think they're the centre of the world.  :D

Historically Rome can only be the correct choice. It permeates every aspect of living in a western world.

In terms of current affairs the most important city in the world today, rightly or wrongly, has to be Washington DC.

In political importance I have to agree.

In economical importance, I guess it would be an american one aswell.

But considering the history, and the impact in our current way of life, influence in our laws, etc, it has to be Rome. Washington didn't even exist when Rome was already ancient.

London is the base of our government and where all the decisions regarding money making are made. As northerner, it helps to blame the "southern fairies" when things go wrong, if we are losing out, its because of the government, who are based in london ! :p

Londoners dont have it so great either, in fact, the residents there have it worse. The prices are ridiculous, the portions in takeaways defy belief, the price of a pint of beer around the country is daft, in london its daylight robbery ! So I choose London as important. If I ever get really depressed about things up north, one day in london will bring me to the light and realise, it could be worse ! Also, look at the press. I detest them, as many people do. Based in London. Im fed up of pointless international matches regarding England and our best player (Gerrard) but also miffed when Carragher is overlooked. But the best one is to come. The olympics. The southerners will be taxed, as it is benefitting them. The amounts of money involved for it, can only be payed back through the taxpayer, I almost DARE the government to tax the northerners for that.

So, London for me. A place for me to direct my blame while us northerners are perfectly innocent and have to accept what them "southern fairies" tell us to do ! :D

Possibly the worst post I have EVER read. London is rubbish because Journalists work there?

London is simply brilliant.
Yeah you pay a little more, but then again I could shop in Iceland more, but I know Waitrose is better.
And the women in London, oh the women, brilliant.
As for takeaway portions benig smaller.. maybe that's why the further north you go the larger the clothe sizes are

And we don;t have funny accents (Liverpool accent not included in this joke)

where would you rather live? Yorkshire? LOLOLOL

It's hardly London tho mate. People read the papers, see the killings and assume the worst, but London is the centre of the world for art, culture, entertainment (ok, lagging behind America there but we are more 24 hours now)
The jobs, the transport system, the people.
The cultures, the places, carnaby street, drinking on the thames, chinatown, just loads and loads, always something to do, loads to do
