20 best and worst places to live

[Gobbledigook]

Did anyone see this - I only saw the last few places and I want to know what the others were! Can't even see anything listing them on the C4 website.

Throck' - 'the programme was fair enough', give me a break!

I thought it might be about identifying very specific places you might consider worst or best, such as - good: Port Sunlight village, Alderley Edge, Virgina Water, say (only examples you must understand)
& bad: Manor Estate - Sheffield, Peckham, Cargo Fleet nr. Middlesborough, etc... (again only examples, not my opinion)

BUT to say the WHOLE of Hull or Nottingham are BAD is just bull!

Kirsty & Phil are an embarrassment to broadcasting

Harrogate is nearer Bradford than York I think, but I bet they don't ever say this
(As in, Clitheroe is near Burnley )

Not much for £180k in Virginia Water. Not much under a million...

Aye, quite right, northerner.

Anyone notice how white the best 10 are?

fair enough - given that they set up "objective" criteria and compared like with like. You can't argue with the results the statistics gave - but you can argue if the criteria were reasonable.

Odd that nothing in Scotland came up.

Now if you had asked people to vote you would have come up with a completely different list.

Only saw the end of this. Can't believe they think nottingham is a bad place to live - it's great. Was shocked to see westminister was 2nd best - who can afford to live there with a family - not many. Plus just thinking of all the pollution of city living.

Raspberry - Bradford & York are both about 20 miles from Harrogate. However Bradford is in a different county.

I quite fancy Edinburgh too Expat

I did, Eaney.

And what about Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales?

I guess they count as 'white' but sort of well . . . a different shade of white to people like Kirsty and Phil. Maybe they're still a wee bit brown from working the crofts for their landed masters down South .

Sort of like those stupid, silly 'chick-lit' books where the Scotsman is always portrayed as some kilt-wearing, exotic figure.

Where's my eye rolling icon when I need it?

A work colleague put it best to me, HMC. She's from Aberdeen. Edinbugh is an English city that happens to be located in Scotland.

You'd be hard-pressed to hear a Scottish accent up the town these days - unless it's behind the wheel or a bus or a till.

And I loved Sheffield as a student (busily trying to establish Northen-a-phile credentials)

However Doncaster - lived there for a while - bluergh! Surprised that wasn't in the bottom 10.

Ha Ha! Got you!
A NORTH Yorkshire snob!
Well as someone born in Skipton, I quite agree!

Didn't do too well with my northern-a-phile efforts there did I Expat - I like Edinburgh because it is quintessentially English. Lol!

LOL! I once got stranded in Doncaster due to flooding in York. What a blast we had! Cheap pubs, friendly locals. Haahaa. Fond memories of Doncaster we have.

North Yorkshire - my parents live in Scarborough. I do like Scarborough - but it has no decent shops and it is miles from anywhere.

Raspberry. Skipton is lovely.

We found parts of Northern Ireland incredibly beautiful! The locals were friendly, the food was good and cheap, the countryside was lovely.

God I sound like bloody Joanna Lumley or jennifer Saunders in that comedy of theirs - what was it called!

Ab Fab, sweetie

My sis lives in Scotland, near Forfar, and interesting to me, I would say:

• they have better roads
• better schools / education system
• better laws (not proven etc...)
• more land per head
• cheaper cost of living
• friendlier folk
• more spent per head from central/local govn'mt
• etc... so perhaps the whole of Scotland is BETTER than England and Wales? maybe I should emigrate?

I'm not like that Lizzylou, really I am not dahhhling!

it is DARK though in Scotland in the winter - that was the thing I disliked most about living there.

I'd agree with a lot of that - but the weather isn't great!

We drove to Belfast for only £69 return and tbh were very pleasantly surprised! Such lovely food! Cheaper in just about everything, very helpful and friendly locals.

The Antrim coast was absolutely breathtaking. Again, helpful, friendly locals, inexpensive lodging, wonderful meals. Even the petrol was cheaper!!

Well worth a look.
