Where were you from/are you from in Britain?
Quite an amusing test, and article about where is the best place for your personality to live in Britain.
Where does my personality fit in? - BBC News
I, apparently, would do well in the Ribble Valley....I've never been there.
Do any of you mob fit the place you came from or are living?
- Apologies for the extra 'from' in my title

I got South Norfolk.
I feel I have lived, visited, have friends in most parts of UK (except Scotland) but I can't think of any connection to South Norfolk. I am thinking PD James might have based some of her books there - could be wrong. Looks like I missed my place in life. C'est la vie.

Told me West Dorset... Lovely!
Though anywhere is better than Essex, I guess.

Re: Where were you from/are you from in Britain?
Apparently I should live in or near Spalding, Lincs. I have some distant relatives there, I think I visited them once. I have vague recollections that it's a nice enough place, but I can't imagine that I would significantly increase my "happiness quotient" by living there.

It gave me the Ribble Valley too, although it was only 2% "more suitable" for me than the place I was living before I crossed the Atlantic.

I got Hinckley & Bosworth.
Which is interesting, because my brother has lived there for for knocking on 30 years. Maybe he was onto something.

Re: Where were you from/are you from in Britain?
I got Hart
I agree that it has to be better than where I was from originally

Some God-forsaken place in the outskirts of Nottingham. I am obviously more screwed up than I realized.
