Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that all English cities (as distinct from towns) have, as Les points out, a Lord Mayor, not the ordinary sort you have in the US. Lichfield, which had county status until the 1970s, even has a sherrif (scroll down to the second pic).

I've got a t-shirt with "Hull" on it: I don't think you could get "Shenectady" all on one t-shirt. And it would be a bit of a bugger as a tattoo, too.
