According to this ten question quick test I'd be happier moving to North Lincolnshire, and be unhappy if I moved to Argyll and Bute, and where I am isn't actually that brilliant for me.
Here you go.

Best place for my personality, 92% Devon. That's OK.
Where I live 81%.
Best place near me, Richmond, Surrey 82%.
BTW. The validity of the survey is discredited because they say that the most agreeable people in the UK are The Jocks?? That's are load of old bow lecks, obviously!!
|
81%? Crikey, I get 12% for where I live, and the best recommendation is only 24%.
|
It says I should avoid Argyll & Bute too, but I quite liked the description of it.
It suggests Tamworth. I like the hardware shop in Tamworth, but that's about it. Not going there.
|
Craven ... wherever that is. I'll have to do a Rightmove, see what I can get for £325k
|
Um, couldn't find anything in Craven, and Skipton property prices seem higher than Cornwool, so I'm staying phut.
|
North Lincs - 74% (Best)
Where I live - 68%
Best near me - 70% (Newark and Sherwood)
|
Best 79% Highlands - Clearly thats a load of horlicks. Cant imagine anything worse.
Where I live 73%
Best near me 75%
|
Best 68% North Lincs (with Rog!)
Where I live 64% (Wokingham)
Worst 55% Lambeth
|
London's full of self-centred loudmouths???
No way.
|
83% if I live in West Lyndsey because its rural.
Where is that?
Apparently I have problems with extroversion.
Probably because I'm so shy.
|
>>Best 79% Highlands - Clearly thats a load of horlicks. Cant imagine anything worse.
You misread it; that was 79% happiness for everybody else if you lived in the Highlands.
|
Best - mid Suffolk 70%
Worst - Newham 56%, and oddly, very close to where I was brought up.
Am now - Wokingham, 65%
Near - 68% in S Oxfordshire
|
Don't want to know the indices and wouldn't be able to make sense of them. I call the general area the Surrey/Sussex badlands, but only to glamorize it. It's solid South East, rich thank goodness and smug as a result, nothing wrong with the neighbours or locals, several good pubs within ten minutes, decent varied wildlife and so on.
Sort of paradise, but nothing's perfect knowImean?
|
Interesting that the BBC and the 'editor' who wrote it regard this tosh as science.
I expect the conclusion would be that the best place for someone like me would be in exile abroad.
|
It told me I'd be happiest in Stoke on Trent !
I really really wouldn't...

>> be in exile abroad.
Yes we think so.
|
Lewes for me followed by somewhere in the Fens I think. Recovered from the Oggin I'm sure.
I'm staying put in God's own county just the right side of the Pointy heads :-0)
|
Happiest in Winchester at 72%
Home in the Vale of Belvoir gives 70%, which is close enough.
Worst wasn't that awful either, I must fit in reasonably well anywhere.
Which is a surprise.
I like Argyll & Bute, a couple of friends live there. The scenery more than makes up for the lack of infrastructure.
