Lived in or around Hart most of my young adult life, Mum still lives in Yateley, its a nice part of the world and can see why it ranks highly.
Having spent most of my formative youth running around Guildford (being from Aldershot it was the safer option), I could happily live there, its got some great countryside right nearby.
Without wishing to mock any of those afflicted, how many if the top 50 are currently underwater ?
I would rather shit on my hands and clap than live in the south!!!
There's an awful lot more of 'the south' than the poncy enclave that surrounds the capital.
I live in the south-west, North Wiltshire, to be precise, and it's a very nice area to live, with easy access to most of the country, and a varied, beautiful range of scenery. And the likes of Avebury and Glastonbury within easy reach as well.
Not sure I'd really want to live elsewhere.
I quite like Guildford. Also has a brilliant record shop. One of the few places in the suburbs West of London I do like to visit. When down there I try to spend my time escaping the dreary commuter towns around the M25 by taking relaxing trips INTO London.
I live in a great place , lovely countryside, great neighbours etc etc
I don't know if it's on any lists, and I won't be checking
There are loads of these type of lists: Top X happiest, top X friendliest, top X healthiest or simply top X full stop. Leek (my home) came 3rd in one of these recently but the (relatively) affordable housing was a huge factor in this. The fact it is surrounded by beautiful countryside probably helped too 🙂
It's be interesting to see which locations feature again and again in these differing polls.
I live in the SW (Cornwall) and I'd rather smear myself in poo than live in the SE.
