Cork is NOT one of the top 10 European cities you must visit

Hey

I saw this story flying around the web mostly thanks to the Indo's excited headline, but they based it on wrong information.

Forget Paris - Cork in to 10 cities to visit
http://www.independent.ie/national-news/forget-paris-cork-in-top-10-cities-to-visit-2846463.html

citing this list

which is word for word identical to the original list already online, except with a crucial difference in the title.

Europe's best second cities

Thanks, Marty! As a Dubliner who loves Paris, I was immediately on alert when I saw the headline. Moreover, I remembered reading about the original list when it first came out - I mean how many times do Antwerp and Cork come up in the same sentence? :-)

I'd rather be on that list than no list at all.:D

Cork is nice and all but in the top 10 :eek: That's nuts!!! I wouldn't think Dublin would be in there either! Although there is the craic and the being able to understand people so meh!

Oh I'm inconsolable haha! In fact luckily for me I'm about one-quarter Corkonian so I get the sense of humor and the other good bits of the county hopefully.
