Well apart from a lingering affection for Rupert Brooke, Cambridge doesn't figure much on my Radar (though I suppose I should go there someday - my family is somewhat Oxford-centric for various reasons though more Town than Gown).

However I would suggest that Oxford is more connected to the real world in that at Cambridge town is far more dependent on the Gown than at Oxford where the University is effectively the historic quarter of Cowley

And it is listen again but this computer doesn't have the right software ...
