Default top 10 best places to live in UK

anybody see this on Channel 4 last night?

i live between number 9 and number 1, and i have to say i'm astonished at Eastleigh being at 9 !

Winchester is mighty fine and thoroughly deserving of top spot tho. wish i could afford to live there....

Merthyr Tydfil 3rd worst. Can't argue with that.

The by-pass means that we don't have to go through the place on the way to the Brecon/Mid Wales anymore.

No surprise to see those London Boroughs so high in the "worst" section. The comment about Islington says it all.

I am currently paying a large amount to move to Oxford and it didn't even get a mention! It looks nice to me...
