Poll: Cardiff is the best place to live in the UK

[ginger_syn]

I moved to Cardiff in '96 and wouldn't move anywhere else

Cardiff people - Thinking they're a cut above the rest of Wales kind of makes them the Londoners of Wales. That and the fact that they're insufferable.

Mancunians are notably humble and reticent about their city, and to be fair to them, in many ways it's almost as nice as Birmingham [emoji6]

All these kind of polls are bullshit, obviously, but.....
Cardiff has a lot going on whilst remaining small enough to be friendly, it's ridiculously green, it's one of the most affordable major cities leaving more money to have fun, it really comes into its own in summer with sea and mountains so close by, so I can see why it does well.

It does need better integrated public transport. That's my major bugbear, I'm car dependant for work here and don't like it.

I can see why it did well in the poll too. Because its competition was Manchester, London, Newcastle, Glasgow and Belfast

Although tbf, I'd have stuck Glasgow at the top out of those six.

Surely it's all a matter of choice. Stupid news stories.

I spent 6 months in Swansea and 1 afternoon in Cardiff, were it not for the dragon studios going under receivership we'd have been in Cardiff for the whole series. I'd have LOVED to have been in Cardiff. Lovely city center. Wally's deli was fantastic.

Tbf, I've had better times in all except Newcastle, which I don't really know

The thread title doesn't seem to match with the story you're linking to though

Cardiff was one of six cities in the UK to be surveyed, alongside London, Glasgow, Belfast, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Manchester.

It came top out of these six cities in most categories with 92% saying they liked living in the Welsh capital.

I think you'll find there's not quite enough space in the title box to fit all that in, so I gave the gist of the piece, being careful to point out that it was a poll.

"Cardiff comes top in poll of 6 cities"

"Cardiff comes top in poll of 6 cities"

Weird.

 

[strung out]

I can't quite understand it either, but it did come top apparently.

 

[JTG]

Weird.

I thought so too but there's nowt queer as folk

Like I said. LOL at the h8rZ.

Oh, and I'm sorry your own city wasn't deemed worthy of a mention. ((( )))

 

[mystic pyjamas]

So is Cardiff the best place out of 6 cities to live or the best place in the UK to live?
