Find the best place for you to live

Craven? No way, I'm no northerner

I've been to Fleet Pond. I didn't like it much

I read somewhere that Hart is the best place to live in the whole country, so if they came up with that for you....!

Offcuts! Though those military men would come in useful right now.

Best South Norfolk, worst Ealing, I agree with that it would be my real nightmare.

Yes. I think you had.

DH has built up a useful stock of officers of rotten old wood in the cellar, fortunately.

How disappointing! A bijou cottage in Hart would have done nicely. I'd best get on with building that croft in the Outer Hebrides then.

I am really sorry to disappoint everyone!

I thought the prize was going to be a des res in our area of choice...

What? You mean you're not going to hand out a small but valuable prize to everyone who's entered responded?

I have just noticed I put this thread under Competitions! I meant to put it under Chat!

Should I tell someone?

Purbeck, Dorset for me - I'm very happy with that, only problem is I can't afford it

I suppose you are right. Except she doesn't want to be there either. She's only there because she has a very good job there.

Best Gedling.
Worst South Ribble.

Seems like a lot of gransnetters have the same personality as those living in Oxford.

janerowena. Yours is right though. You like a person, or have the same personality as the people in the place it wants to send you to.

Hambleton for me. I wasn't sure where that was but when I found out I thought I would be quite happy there as my father came from the NE and I have always loved it there.

I got Oxford too! I would be perfectly happy with that if the pension stretched to one of the most expensive cities to buy in

My worst was Carlisle which I quite liked when I was there a couple of years ago apart from not being able to park in the town centre so couldnt go out for our meal and ended up back at the hotel. Too cold for me though.

Lewes for me - lovely I'm packing already- problem is I think the property prices would defeat me.

EEk! Tamworth for me and only 32% happy with that. It seems that Tamworth has low average income and high levels of neurotics. Boy that sounds a great place to live.

A friend sent me this link a month or so ago and it came up as me needing to go to live in her town. Well - I loathe it there! I only go there to see her! Rather surprisingly, it said that I would be almost as happy only a few miles to the west of where I live, which is where I had actually wanted to live.

So I think I shall do it again and see if it comes out differently.

Well, it's better, in that it wants to send me to Oxford too! I do like it there, but prefer the country. It's still picking the area close by to be a favourite, rather than where I live, but at 67% where I live I can't complain. Even Eilean Siar at 59% being the worst wouldn't hold any horrors for me - but the previous town I was given most definitely would! I'm not posting it in case anyone on here lives there.

See you there shysal

Hey jingl we're actually very alike . I got North Yorkshire (Craven) as my best place and Corby as my worst like you.

Like you, my best place wasn't very high, only 58%. OH (who got 94% on his best place) said it summed me up - never happy wherever I was

I've had to look up both my best and worst. Hart and Eilean Star. One's in Hampshire with an average income of £40k, so that's me out, and the other's in the Outer Hebrides (ex country child shudders at the thought of ever moving back to the sticks).

What surprised me is the prediction that I'd have 74% life satisfaction in Hart, and 63% in the Outer Hebrides. I reckon I've over 90% already now that I'm retired, so I think I'll stay put.

And they're only offering you 32%, jings?

I find time to fill in surveys like this by just not doing all the things I should be doing (and pretending I've done them when DH comes in from the allotment for a coffee).
