Never visited Knaresborough (although have been through it on a train) but always enjoyed my trips to Harrogate.

Do they vote every few weeks...I thought Skipton had just received this dubious accolade.

My dad was born in Skipton, Tamber. I've still got a book awarded to him by Skipton Wesleyan Church for best attendance in 1906!!!!!!!!

I just cannot have Twickenham on that list call me a taxi, whoever made that list never spent much time there, that is just way beyond absurd. I worked there for years and it's a great place to live and work. The traffic is horrendous but that aside it's excellent.

Very nice..I hope you are living up to your proud Wesleyan heritage.
Report kenny mann • May 21, 2014 11:08 PM BST
I think it's how you live your life, not how many times you go to Church that counts, Tambers.

I did go to a Wesleyan church when I was very young.)mum insisted) I loved collecting the silver stars that you got awarded every time you attended, which you could exchange for book tokens. I usually chose Lion or Tiger annual.

Happy

I don't know if I showed you this, tambers. I think I did.

Leeds United Vs Bradford F.A. Cup 4th Round (1952)

Mitchell Downie in goal for The Avenue.

Fascinating stuff. John Charles in the Leeds side.

Slough a shocking omission, for me
Report Coachbuster • May 22, 2014 1:25 PM BST
those places are choc full with rich folk

rich folk by default are going to be unhappier than those on medium incomes (But happier than those on the poverty line ) who can manage and balance all the best bits of life ,since the rich on average have very high targets -so are always trying to 'reach' something .
London is also fairly cramped .

Harrogate is a lovely place -  also isn't it full of retired well healed folk who have got off the treadmill  -they have fewer worries on average than anyone Happy

Enfield Chase is a lovely place to live, a 2 bed flat there can cost a million.
