    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...

    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.
