Craven & Wharfedale. Slap bang in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, and a place dear to my heart .

Bit spooky actually.

From:

We predict that a personality type like yours would experience 72% life satisfaction in South Ayrshire.

Should live:

We predict that a personality type like yours would experience 81% life satisfaction in Mid Devon.

Best near me:

We predict that a personality type like yours would experience 74% life satisfaction in East Ayrshire.

Never been to mid-Devon, so can't comment...but East Ayrshire is an absolute shittip compared to South Ayrshire, weird why it thinks I'd have been happier there

Exactly the same for me. Nearest place that worked was Rossendale, which (no offence to anyone from there) is one of those places that I have always found totally depressing.

Which is interesting, because my brother has lived there for for knocking on 30 years. Maybe he was onto something.
Heavens I was born just outside Hinckley in a village called Burbage! It's not a place you hear of every day.
