I get this impression and have no idea why - is this my imagination or is this the case?

Where are you originally from?

I am thoroughly English.

Am Scottish and live in Scotland. There are some ridiculously overpriced houses here too (not as bad as London obviously!)

I thought Glasgow was just as high Scottishmummy, though maybe that's just because of the cohort I work with.
