Stirling.

Was hoping for Vancouver, but alas it's UK only. Never been to Stirling - any good?

Leicester!! No offence, but apart from the rugby team, i'd always give it a wide berth!

Stirling is OK as a town to live in but excellent for access to big cities and the great outdoors

Limited database me thinks - Stirling.

Always had a back of mind desire to move north of the border. This year it's turning into more of a vague plan.

At least the second choice was York, I live in Leeds!

Stirling here, too. Or Perth or Inverness. I'd be happy with either, or Edinburgh where I am.

I got Ripon as well. Only about 20 miles away, which is handy.

Brighton and Hove, sounds about right. Except I live in Spain miles from the coast, and am happy here 🙂

Where's your dream city?

As far away from a city as possible! 😀

Coventry, definitive proof the algorithm is broken.

Unless Coventry now boasts a heated 50m outdoor pool, singletrack that starts in the trees in the background and a ski resort within view (when it's not cloudy).

Yup, proper broken. It suggested Peterbrough to me, which is about as far from a place I want to live in as I can think.

I also don't like that the area is first. it would be better using that as a filter at the end of the choices.

Durham.
Love the place, tbh.

Oh and Stirling, obviously, depending how young I feel.

Apart from the lack of a vibrant social culture, the lack of hills and rocks, and the absence of any 'identity', what's wrong with P-town?

To be fair (and as a pretty much born and bred Peterborian), it's quite a green city (in both senses) and has decent infrastructure (one of the best traffic systems I've driven in - admittedly not much of a selling point!). The old parts of the city centre are quite cool architecturally (the cathedral doesn't get the exposure it deserves) and if you're happy with road riding or old-school XC bridleway bashing (and don't mind the wind) then the cycling's not bad.

Love these stealth market research things. Make you think don't they.

You did put your actual incomes in didn't you!

No, cba to change that bit. And I live outside the UK, just to screw it for them a bit.

Chester. I could probably live with that (if I could put the thought of Hollyoaks out of my mind).

Chester, York or ... Sunderland.

Not sure what inspired it to suggest Sunderland. I didn't answer "yes" to the question about being mentally defective 🙂
