Can you sum up Bath in just 125 characters?

It's a city with thousands of years of history, more listed buildings than almost anywhere else in the country, and views that attract millions of tourists every year.

It's got cutting-edge businesses, world-famous shopping streets, renowned restaurants – and a host of celebrity residents.

Hundreds if not thousands of books have been written about it – and we at the Chronicle conjure up thousands of sentences about the place every week.

So how do you sum up Bath in 125 characters?

It's a challenge to which people have been busily rising on Twitter after the hashtag #ifyouknowBath started trending – generating the most response on the social media site – last week.

Similar hashtags for cities across the country including Cardiff, Bristol, London and Birmingham have also been trending, giving people the chance to celebrate and reminisce about their home cities.

Inserting the hashtag meant people didn't even have their usual 140 characters to play with.

But that didn't stop them trying to encapsulate their home city in a snappy sentence.

The subjects ranged from geography to politics and restaurants to business, and allowed local people to express emotions from pride to frustration.

The hashtag started last Tuesday and within days had attracted more than 430 tweets.
