Orleans, France
Alexandria, USA
Nablus, Palestine
Wurzburg, Germany
Zadar, Croatia
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
My school sends a few coach loads of pupils to Orleans each year to beat the French at rugby, and occassionally does exchanges with a school in Wurzburg. Dubai is one of the more recent twinnings, after Sheikh Al-maktoum funded the Centre for Islamic studies here...
Nobody will have us. :embarassed:

Lewes is twinned with Blois in France, Waldshut Tiengen in Germany, and Lewes in the USA.
Every year my town has sports competitions and 'cultural exchanges' with Blois and Waldshut, and I believe they both always send a contingent to the bonfire night parades here.

Greedy towns and cities!
Having more than one twin. (Is it even the correct terminology in such a case?)
Give our unloved and un-twinned backwater villages that no-one else in the world cares about, a chance to associate with new and exotic places! Stop stealing them all for yourself.
Says this citizen of an un-twinned and under-appreciated backwater town.
