Mister M Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Yes I seem to remember TV's property experts, Phil and Kirsty of Location, Location, Location did something similar about the top 20 and bottom 20 places to live in UK. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=578471 Still, if that means that places like Hull and Doncaster have fewer people droning on about how difficult it is to find a desirable location for a mere £500,000 then they can't be all bad in my opinion.

Vague_Boy Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Harrogate named as happiest place to live in Britain Further down that page is a link to a "Where in Britain would you be happiest?" test. I got South Norfolk. The best location nearest to me was North East Derbyshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzijlstra Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I am going to assume that Inverness in that list covers the whole postcode (which is all of mainland North Scotland afaik) at which point I happily agree that it is an amazing place to live. Inverness itself is a bit meh, although it has a lot of redeeming qualities as well. I prefer Perth though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horribleblob Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I don't know if the street scenes of Harrogate on the the tv news yesterday were from stock footage, but I was impressed by how clean the place was, with no litter as far as I could make out. I'm very happy here in Sheffield, but less street grot would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockonvynil Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 my vote on a local level would be stocksbridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
