Where in Britain would you be happiest

[Fab Foodie]

That didn't take long!

Well there might be a tea crate shortage in town ....
You now, then CMD and Clarkson following on behind? We're loading the limo and getting out before prices collapse!

 

[Gravity Aided]

I lied, since some of my family was from Camarthenshire ancestrally. I've been sent to Oxford. At least I know where to go once I get to Britain, I guess since there is no getting me in an airplane, I'll have to build a longship and get there that way.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Like most BBC content, the quiz doesn't seem to work on my Android tablet. But I don't need a quiz to tell me that Dumfries and Galloway is the place for me, somewhere near Kirkcudbright

Another bullplop quiz to keep the brain ticking over

http://www.bbc.co.uk/guides/z3g487h

62% South Norfolk for me is the best place to live - scores high on conscientiousness, apparently...51% Newham is my worst place to live and I fit in 54% where I live at the moment (Croydon)...best place near me is Sutton (57%), so watch out @vickster , because I might be hanging my pants out on a line near you, if I follow their advice

The worst place for me to live is the Outer Hebrides. No shoot Sherlock.

I have no idea where Harborough is, but as its only a few percent better than where aI currently live...what was the point of the test again?

 

[surfdude]

i got 82% for the Ribble Valley . sounds fine to me but not close enough for the sea and surf

Anywhere in the Yorkshire Dales on a bicycle.

That's my POV on most of these 'what should I do / what am I like' quizes really...just a load of old barnum / forer... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forer_effect ...still...I get bored and do them all over again...all the fun of the fair...

 

[Hugh Manatee]

According to that, I can only ever be a maximum of 56% happy. Oh, woe is me, etc.

 

[RWright]

It would not take my zip code (US postal code) so I entered that I lived in the City of London. Not sure if that was a good or bad thing to do. My best location is South Norfolk 60%. Worst location is Ealing 49%. Best nearby is Richmond upon Thames 56%. I have some Googling to do now.

 

[Dave the Smeghead]

Cambridgeshire best

Newham worst

Current only 6% lower than Cambridgeshire so perhaps its not so bad!

 

[jayonabike]

That test is a load of bollocks. It said I should live in Wales. I f**king hate Wales.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

As for taking the test itself, says
Best Place = Stratford-upon-Avon
I was there in February, last year, for a week
I liked it, as little, as last time I was there, about 15 years ago

Best Place Near = Barnsley (what the hell!?!?!?)

Worst Place = Newham
London!?!?!?,, at least it got one thing right. I've been there twice (to walk round) in my 50 years, & hated every single step of it

As a place to live, not taking housing prices into account (& buying what I'd want) I'd have difficulty choosing between;

Ilkley (and, I know exactly the house!!)
Otley

\
I'd go & have a look whenever I was in Ilkley, & will probably, be running past it, when I enter (again!) the http://www.ilkleyharriers.org.uk/index.php?page=trail

However, if it was imply a location to have a house built (if you were allowed), it'd have to be by the River Washburn, down by the pack-horse bridge, in Dob Valley
If I was in the vicinity, I'd detour to go & sit by it
When I had my Landies, there was a right of way (semi-surfaced) that led to it, I'd park near it, with a flask of tea, and my 'Yorkshire Post', just soaking in the atmosphere
On the bikes, I'd just sit for a while

In the field, alongside this

Ahh, heaven!!!!!!!!!!!

Harrogate for me.
I like Harrogate - I may have to have a think

 

[mwktar]

The worst place for me would appear to be Merthyr Tydfil. Oddly, I quite like that area of Wales.

I live in Merthyr, gets a pretty bad wrap but in terms of cycling it's fantastic - some great rides and terrain here. Am right in the centre and can get to country lanes in 20 min cycling

 

[HertzvanRental]

Best place for me is Ribble Valley.
I thought you got ointment for Ribble Valley!!
