Perhaps it's a 'sign' ?

......strange thing is, I have been looking on Rightmove at properties in South Devon

Mid Devon recommended as best place. Worst place would be Chesterfield! I live in Fife confused

I came across this a few weeks back now from the BBC website. The other thread about where you would like to live brought it to mind.

You know, my garden is surprisingly easy to keep up now. I spent fortyfive years making it so. It mostly just sits there and grows. grin

South Norfolk would suit me apparently.

Where do you get these items from JBR? Do you google all day? When do you find time to garden?

Stansgran Tue 21-Apr-15 13:39:05

Gateshead!!! Or Harrogate. If you could see the bus station in Gateshead you would know the reason I feel horrified. Harrogate yes is very nice but I prefer York(DD2 lives there)

Worst place for me was Corby. I'll go along with that

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 21-Apr-15 13:34:20

I got Harrogate. I quite fancy that.

Still only got 32% life satisfaction even living there. Which is not great. grin

I could cope with the fens -- big skies smile

Hart district in Hampshire - no way! Either I don't know myself or this test is daft.

It says I should live in Staffordshire. DS already lives there and we love the canals and scenery.

Apparently the worst place for me would be the Outer Hebrides. Yep!!

We live right on the edge of the fens, janea. That's near enough, thanks. grin

When I was little we used to take the ferry from Hull to New Holland. We were always convinced we'd gone abroad.

VQ you are being very derogatory to my son and his family who live on the southern bank of the Humber, I am a Yorkshireman and would not use that term.

Well I got the Fens shock
We once travelled through them when we had the narrowboat. It was fascinating but spooky and I would never choose to live there.
I like hills, or for something completely different, cities!

I was very confused when it told me I should live in South Holland, and went on to say that this region had (I think?) 47 towns and villages, one of which was Spalding.
I had to Google South Holland and then found that it was a place in Lincolnshire and not the southern part of The Netherlands!!!

pompa Tue 21-Apr-15 12:55:25

smile just done the test and I live only a few miles SE of the recommendation.

vampirequeen Tue 21-Apr-15 12:49:10

Oh dear it told me to live in Oxford. Nothing against Oxford as such but it suggests a busy, busy place with lots of people and I love the middle of nowhere lol.

It told me that Carlisle and surrounding area would be the worst place when if you discount Carlisle itself the low population and wide open spaces in the surrounding area would be perfect.

It suggested that I move from East Yorkshire to North Lincolnshire. Now everyone round here knows that the only thing we have in common with the Yellow Bellies is the Humber Bridge grin
