Interesting article in that it starts with least attractive then lists least visited ?? I hate article that mix and match their information.
As for Lichfield - for sure you have to be keen to be able to actually get in and park and then rich to actually afford to park. I rarely go in as there is nothing there but tourist shops and old curio places and a load of pubs frequented by under 18's. Once you've seen the cathederal had a walk round no need to return.
Still Mr PVR - I hope your not proposing Gatwick as the best place to live
