    Apparently the best place for me to live would be Argyll and Bute :) sounds nice. My worst place is Preston!

    Not sure why they've invested our licence fee in this, but nevermind!

    Best place: Craven (which is really quite close to where I was born, not lived there since I was 1 though)
    Worst place: Newnham

    I got 5/10 on the British/ Belgian quiz. Mainly guesswork so not really surprising!

    Ho Nikkster, I got Craven too.
    Worst : Corby
    Best nearby : Hounslow

    Hounslow! :o

    I doubt there is a property in Band D in Westminster. If there is, I'm pretty sure the average property is not a Band D.

    There won't be many in Richmond either - our small 2 bed flat was band F when we moved in although I managed to get it knocked down to band E.

    They seem to have a down on Ealing. I have no idea why, and it should benefit from Crossrail.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    It mentions noise pollution from heathrow as a downside to living there but it is not as if that is unique to Ealing...

    It wasn't too bad in Acton (our old postcode was W3 7 area, will send last 2 letters by PM if anyone is that interested)

    I wouldn't have wanted to have lived any closer to Heathrow though, just like I wouldn't want to live any closer to Stansted now.

    My best place is West Dorset, and I'd be 60% happy there.

    Worst is South Holland at 46%

    Liverpool scores 53%, and best nearby place is Wirral (boo hiss!) which only gains me 1% over Liverpool. I hate the Wirral, spent the unhappiest years of my life there. :(
