On the BBC news today they mentioned the results of the survey:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31816926
If you want to read the detailed report:
http://journals.plos.org/ploso...journal.pone.0122245
There's a link in the report to a Word document giving the results by local authority:
http://journals.plos.org/ploso...al.pone.0122245.s003
Note that the maps etc don't show Northern Ireland as there weren't enough participants.
OK...

I'm upper middle.
Worst location: Eilean Siar 46%
Best location: Winchester 56% - which is interesting, as I once lived there...
My best location in Stratford upon Avon ... which is pretty local to me, so I won't bother moving!
I got west Dorset as best.
Carlisle as worst
Best near me would be Richmond Upon Thames (I agree with this)

You lived in Winchester? I can't remember mentioning this before. I lived there when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s and my parents only moved from there a few years back.
I should live in Sunderland !!!!!
I was born in Jesmond don't you know JESMOND !!!!
The grass is always greener but I could put up with Lytham having lived there before.
Madchester, Liverpool and Southport on the door.
Not to mention Blackpool, which I love, and the Cleveleys Auction Hoose.
Mr Baz has relations in Lytham
I should live in Sunderland !!!!!
I was born in Jesmond don't you know JESMOND !!!!
yep, always wondered why it's the posh area
All I want is to live somewhere with some great big hills ....and it gave me Norfolk.

honestly, I'm not being funny, but it's no different than loads of area's over here...only thing is I paid 12 quid for two latte's in a piano bar and then I understood why it was the posh area

It's not funny! 48% happiness is Norfolk, 42% where I am right now. Hardly worth the effort of moving then
I'm still convinced I'd get 98% happiness up in the mountains. I agree with Saint. Stupid test.
Where I have stayed...........near my family.

But I'm not of Sunderland
There are too many shopping trolleys and not enough bay tree
I don't want cheesy chips - I want hazelnut lattes
Its been an age since I've seen decent figurative garden fencing
Oh for Jesmond - or Gosforth (if I must)

As I said....good and bad parts. My auntie lives in Cleadon (in what's supposed to be the 'posh' part) but she's got a Sunderland post code
Best Location: Ribble Valley 79%
Worst location: Eilean Sear 66%
Where I live now: 75%
Best near me: Richmondshire: 76%
I find it rather strange that the best place to live is based on having people with similar personality traits
Cold Heseldon or a Chelsea mansion block - hmmmmm

I know, that's why I think these quizzes are daft at times and don't tend to take much notice of the results

Norwich prison is on a hill overlooking the city Ducks
Best Location: Warwick 77%
Worst Location: Eliean Siar 65%
Where I live now: Newcastle Upon Tyne % (rest assured Joe, it's not Cowgate)
Best near me: Northumberland %
Actually if I could choose to live anywhere, it would be north Northumberland in the borders. Somewhere quiet & remote. Which would be better for everyone, as we're noisy in the summer (always have people round) & we're not really good at closing the curtains. (Actually I am, but Mr C isn't bothered at all)

You lived in Winchester? I can't remember mentioning this before. I lived there when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s and my parents only moved from there a few years back.
I only lived there for 3 years: I had to move to Winchester from Portsmouth for work reasons in 1997, and left in 2000.
Did it again being a little more robust with my answering
A few more "agree/disagree strongly" as I was on the cusp of several
And I'm happy to say .... LEWES - much better
But not Kensington . . .
