Best and Worst Places to Live in the UK

My favorite TV program here is called Location, Location (or Relocation, Relocation not too sure what the difference is?). It's a show with 2 presenters (Phil and Kristie) that try to help people relocate within the UK or to mainland Europe (often helping them find a place in both the UK and Europe! - how these people can afford it I'm really not sure). I've been into house shows of any sort for quite a while and was excited to discover this show when we moved.
Tonight they counted down the 20 Best and Worst places to live in the UK - on live TV. Allowing viewers to send text messages in giving their opinions of the places as they listed them off. People are very into the text message here and were very excited about letting the hosts know what they thought of their home town being listed poorly on the list!

Worst Place to Live: Middlesbrough in North East England. It's considered the worst place because of poor health - smoking, binge drinking, lack of exercise, crime more than twice the UK average. They are trying to turn the area around through re-generation and fighting crime. I don't know that Andy and I will be visiting...

Best Place to Live: Edinburgh in Scotland. It has the best lifestyle options, bars, shops, museums, low crime (5 times less than average), good education, strongest economy outside London in the UK. I think we'll add Edinburgh to our list of places to visit :)

Luckily the area of London we live in didn't make either list!
