Re: Best City in the World
The locals were very excited that Calgary was in the top 10. At least it keeps them happy:p

FFS, the locals will be unbearable now. I think I'll skip the news later.

Re: Best City in the World
I'm not surprised by all the Canadian and Australian cities near the top. However, Manchester the best city in the UK? :eek:

Re: Best City in the World
So Canada has 3 of the top 5 cities to live in, in the world??!! :rofl::rofl::rofl:
I wonder what the people who produced this 'survey' would come up with if you asked them the 5 best foods in the world? 1. Ham sandwich on white bread 2. Cheese sandwich on white bread 3. Tuna sandwich on white bread 4. Egg sandwich on white bread, and in 5th place, for the edgy... 5. Spicy tuna sandwich on wholemeal bread. |

Wow! Calgary at Number 5? I really don't know how to respond to that :lol:
If there was a top trumps game for "World Cities" I couldn't really see Vancouver as the Maclaren F1 equivalent. If they can do this set maybe a "World Cities" set is a possibility.......... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Great-Nation...402109&sr=1-14 |
Re: Best City in the World
Wow Calgary no.5 and London no.53??? wtf...now if it was dullest places to live in the world it would be about right :thumbup:

Re: Best City in the World
Oh gawd, City TV is going to go to town with this one ... literally. Still, rather be near the top of the heap than the bottom however the **** it's measured.

Re: Best City in the World
It was measured across 5 criteria:
Vancouver got 98 out of 100, suggesting that it's only a mere 2 points away from being a perfect city. Given that Alan said he couldn't get home at night on public transport after a night on the lash, that must be where they lost ground. Also, given the reason that rankings are published by The Economist, ("The survey is used by companies across the globe to calculate allowances for expatriate employees.", the higher up the list you are, the lesser the salary uplift you need to go there. So Vancouver's property prices obviously don't count against it at all. |

Weather and environment aren't in the same bracket? Good job sporting prowess didn't feature as a criteria at all - Toronto would have plummeted. |
