holloway Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Anyone had a go at this test reported on the BBC website? Results of few question based on your personality then compared to results of a nationwide study, give you the best and worst places to live. Obviously to be taken with a large pinch of salt, but apparently I'd be happiest in South Norfolk! I'll stick with East Dulwich.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-31816926 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/55890-where-would-you-be-happiest-test/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

edcam Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I got Lewes. Never been there, so no idea (apart from the sea being appealing!) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/55890-where-would-you-be-happiest-test/#findComment-834078 Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiepanda Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If the sea made it to Lewes I think the residents would be a bit distressed. (I admit it's not far to the sea but it's not on the coast) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/55890-where-would-you-be-happiest-test/#findComment-834087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiepanda Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 PS I took the test and there was only 10% difference between the best and worst places for me to live - not worth the cost of moving house. And of course it didn't factor in the misery of the commute I'd have getting back to the city to do my job from South Cambridge which would wipe out the 6% supposed improvement in happiness (there's no work in my industry round there) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/55890-where-would-you-be-happiest-test/#findComment-834089 Share on other sites More sharing options...

holloway Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 So no one got Southwark then!! Edcam, Lewes is a great place, they have notoriously wild parties around Guy Fawkes night every year mixing booze and fiery dancing! Naff all the rest of the year mind...

Mick Mac Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 My worst location was Lewes. Apparently only level headed people are allowed to live there SJ? Best location was the Wirral - well at least they have a good golf course there.
