Where would you be happiest test...

[holloway]

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.

[Blah Blah]

I got the Shetland Islands lol....even though I hate cloudy days and cold :D

[edcam]

I got Lewes. Never been there, so no idea (apart from the sea being appealing!)

[indiepanda]

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)

[indiepanda]

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)

[numbers]

I better move to North Yorkshire and avoid East Somerset then...found the questions and analysis very odd.

[Louisa]

I got Medway in Kent. I hear most blows ended up with 'cloudcuckooland'.

[uncleglen]

I got Newcastle.....I couldn't even watch Auf Wiedersehn Pet when it was on because of the accents...

[Rolo Tomasi]

Hammersmith and Fulham.

[MrBen]

Do you guys all get a UK Town or city? For some reason I keep getting Nice in South of France.

[holloway]

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...

[Townleygreen]

Winchester.

Wouldn't mind living there - decent place I think!

[david_carnell]

Mid-Devon. Am currently trying to persuade the misses.

The place is a tribal shithole of a backwater, an oblast of ignorance, a penninsula of provincial patriacrchy

you know the phrase " Crabs in a bucket"... this was constructed to describe newcastle

[DulwichFox]

Mogadishu.

And apparently Budleigh Salterton would be hazardous to my health.

[Otta]

I got South Bucks, but it seems the happiest I can be anywhere is 54%.

So I'll just remain miserable in Penge.

[Louisa]

My happiest scale came out at 32% anywhere. I suppose I'm stuck in East Dulwich forever then.

[Jah Lush]

It doesn't matter where you are. Happiness is a state of mind.

[PeckhamRose]

It just said, "Your Results _ _ _ " and never gave me an answer. I assume it thinks I should be dead.

[Siduhe]

City of London for me, which feels a bit odd....

[Mick Mac]

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.

I would have thought 32% was high for you anywhere Louisa.
