London = New York - Obvious comparison
Birmingham = Chicago - Second city
Manchester = Los Angeles - Sprawling mess full of criminals
Liverpool = Boston - Huge Irish influence, big on their sport
Leeds = San Francisco - Hilly, quite bohemian
Sheffield = Philadelphia - Steel City
Nottingham = Detroit - Guns
Newcastle = Houston - Residents have a distinctive accent
Brighton = New Orleans - Party town on the South Coast
Bristol = Miami - Furthest South big city
Coventry = St. Louis - Kinda average
Leicester = Indianapolis - Fairly big city near the middle of the country
Sunderland = Atlanta - See Newcastle/Houston
Norwich = Seattle - Tucked away, bad for weather
Discuss. Also, why is it easy to find Ginger Beer in America but not Root Beer in England?

"Residents have a distinctive accent" can be as easily applied to Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester and Glasgow as it can be to Newcastle.
While Nottingham may have a lot of guns for an English city, there are far fewer there than, I would imagine, any American city

The OP does quite clearly state English cities
That sounds plesant, maybe I'll move there! I was reading the other day, gun related homicides have surpassed 250 this year in Chicago, and all the holidays are later. What is Thanksgiving or Christmas if you can't shoot the crazy part of your family.
Though, if I were murdered, I think I'd prefer to be shot (or air bubble in a needle), as long as it was a good hit and I didn't bleed out over the course of several hours. Stabbing, strangling, drowning, they all take far too long.
Well, that really depends on whether you're accounting for illegal firearms as well. As strange as it may sound, many states suppress the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. So, "any" U.S. city is a bit of a stretch. But if including blackmarket firearms, it'd be rather impossible to determine.
