Apparently, Seattle has the highest suicide rate in the States! Always fancied going though...

Yes , France is a great place to live. Just don't remind them about the war. Best to take your own white flag in case there's an invasion while your there and there's a shortage. And don't bother going there if you are Jewish, or black, or Asian...or - well don't really bother going if you're not French.

Whoever wrote this study must have some realestate in France for sale.



When the guys came back after the end of the war the most frequent chant was 'never trust a Frenchman, always trust a German', I wonder why?


Everyone I know who has invested in a property has had difficulty selling it for what they paid in spite of any restoration they may have added.

Interestingly... of all the countries on that list, which are better to live in than here apparently, only Spain and Malta have lower suicide rates.

I don't actually think londoneers know what quality of life means, this is a very crap place to live actually. Lack of room in the houses make ppl feel like they are prisioners (and these don't even have to work for their food not even pay tv license either), traffic, wheather, stress, polution, bank holidays (lack of), crime...I don't see why we scored so high.

I?ve tried that before, I am a citizen of the Republic after all. Trouble is my knowledge of Ireland is pretty poor. When asked which part of the country my family comes from I just say, the rainy bit, and leave it at that.


Anyway back on the relative benefits of Britain as a place to live. When I was a student (back in the old country this was) I remember reading a book of far-fetched-fiction where the author describes how one of the most truly magnificent things these islands have to offer is to descend the stairs in the morning after an evening of libations into a kitchen which contains a buxom Northern lass mid fry-up.


This is something sublimely unique which Britain can be truly proud of.


The weather?s still shit mind.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
