Sadly Bradford comes out worst and Kingston-upon-Hull second worst in the 2015 rankings. What do the residents of those places think? Agree or disagree? For those who like links: www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/news ... -life.html

How can you compare a county(Berkshire which has a number of towns) with a town(Solihull)? Whats the criteria??



Go to somewhere like Cobham in Surrey (where the chelsea players live) and the champagne bill must be more than the 29K average wage in Edinburgh.

I'm just amazed that anyone is prepared to exchange their hard-earned cash for not just the Telegraph - but ANY newspaper.

"Sadly"? You seriously believe anyone in Bradford yearns the approval of the wipes of the Torygraph? You're as mad as them!

Alternatively did the residents of Solihull and Darlington realise they had been living the (Dally) dream? According to that places like Portrush and Portstewart on the Antrim coast are shizzle-holes which makes you wonder why various millionaires have had pads there.

"Just 15pc of people in the Orkney Islands work more than 45 hours a week"



I wonder how many hours the other four people work?

If Bradford was recommended by that rag I'd move

See from Twitter that the Wakefield newspaper is saying that Wakefield & Castleford worst place to live on criteria used in another report.

I live in Hull - educated to a degree level (1st in Business and Marketing), have a highly paid job (for the area) of 50k+, I live in a nice 4 bedroom detached house with my partner and 2 year old son. If I want to go out for a meal, I have an endless list of places I can go from quick fixes to Michelin Star within 20 minutes of my house. There are a host of bars, wine-bars, real ale pubs within, or in the vicinity of the City Centre if I want to go drinking with my friends. The local school to me has a good reputation and I will send my son there.



I love living in Hull, and some report in a newspaper, by somebody who looks at a few figures and comes up with saying its 5hit isn't going to change that

Great stuff

I live in Bradford and I would concur it is an awful city to live in these days.



The roads are full of uninsured morons who have no consideration for other road users nor any driving skills - its bl00dy dangerous to say the least. Education is amongst the worst in Britain - the town centre is a sad reflection of a once prosperous city. The soccer team has to virtually give away its season tickets to sell them. Social integration is negligible with districts divided up by ethnicity in the main.



Bradford has nothing to recommend it at all

I had to scratch my head when I saw that transport links were considered a factor. Living in the centre of Wakefield I can be on the A1 in around 20 minutes, and the M1 and M62 in around 10 minutes. I can get on a train at Westgate, one of Wakefield's 2 railway stations, and be in Leeds in 15 minutes, Sheffield in 20 minutes, York in 40 minutes and London in 2 hours. Compare this to the backwards nature of Oxfordshire, where I spent a long weekend this Summer, and Wakefield looks like a commuter's dream!
