It is not close to the seaside: it is close to Weston where the mud comes and goes out twice a day (the -Super-Mare bit is sheer bluster by the Romans). Take note that the friendliness of the locals was not one of the features named. Bristol is far too good for you lot - it's gert lush. Find your own Banksy for your cultural diversity.

Best: Ribble Valley 69 %

Worst: Outer Hebrides 54 %

Where I live now 63% - not too shabby a result

Best near me: Perth and Kinross 65 % but who would want to live there ;)

Sounds marginally more fun than Wootton Under Edge.

Post by: Colwyn on March 21, 2017, 11:04:19 AM: Even those of us who live in the best place in the UK go on holiday sometimes. So I went to Madeira and found another Bristolian had got there before me. They seek him here, they seek him there ... that damned elusive Banksy's everywhere.

A huge hill to climb with a monument called white Nancy.lots of history, lots of nice walks and scenery. Handy for Macclesfield,Manchester, and of course footballers country prestbury..

Post by: KKOB on March 21, 2017, 13:45:52 PM: I really can't understand why Wrexham isn't up there in the Top Ten. We've got such a relaxing atmosphere here in the town.

Anyone know what time the next bus to Oblivion is ?

First time I've heard a place actually being praised for being "handy for Macclesfield".

Post by: Colwyn on March 21, 2017, 17:21:47 PM: Bernie, thank you for prompting me to look up Macclesfield and find out what it is so special about the place. According to Wikipedia it is noted for one of its citizens, Paul Oldfield, being the world's only currently performing flatulist. I won't spoil the pleasure for you in looking up this occupation and discovering just what a flatulist is/does and why this makes Macclesfield so famous.

Post by: BernieTeyze on March 21, 2017, 17:59:53 PM: It wasn't macclesfield I was singing the Praises of, but Bollington. Although Macc isn't the worst place I've ever been to.

And they have professionals? Gawd!
