Everyone moving to London has it wrong. Time to move to one of the 10,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire.

    Isn't Blackburn a northern hellhole?

    It's grim up north.

    So the best thing about Blackburn is leaving Blackburn and not being in Blackburn?

    It's also quite handy for the M65 which will help you get to London.

    Woody's right about the countryside, and the natives are friendly.

    Still, I'll pass too.

    I suspect Cambridge is a great place to make a living if you have a doctorate in Applied Cleverness. The others are all up north though so see you there :)
