Not sure where you moving to but plenty of expensive places everywhere. London is not cheap.

And Bristol has lots to offer. Sorry you can't see that.

i'm moving to america.

Not all of America is cheap.

Where?

mississippi. cheap but it has its fair share of problems, including lack of shoes! err, i mean work.

For all of you keen on Bristol (never been so can't comment ), apparently it's been voted the most sustainable UK city.

Brighton and Hove are second with Plymouth and Newcastle following behind. It seems that the industrial heritage of the Midlands and North cities and towns is reflected in lower life expectancy. (according to www.forumforthefuture.org)

For me, it's still Edinburgh or Perth.

I'd recommend Cambridge as I think it's pretty but it's expensive. I wouldn't recommend some of the areas around it though. The village I live in is nice buy my nearest town, Huntingdon, is a massive dump and I can't wait to leave.

When I lived in Nottingham (admittedly 10 years ago) the East Midlands apparently had the highest disposable income in the UK - dunno if that's still true.

THE north-south divide persists, at least in cash terms. While disposable household income per head in London was 23% above the UK average, the North-East of England came in at 14% below, a report from the Office for National Statistics has shown.

In cash terms, disposable earnings in London were £16,900 a person, compared with an average of £13,900.

Two other regions also pulled in more than average: the East of England with £14,600 a head and the South-East with £15,400. The lowest were the North East with £11,800 and Northern Ireland with £12,000. The figures are estimates for 2006, based on earnings, benefits and insurance payouts, minus mortgage payments and taxes.

Overall, household income per head increased at similar rates all over the UK, showing no signs of wealth inequalities evening out. Household income is the money left after taxes, national insurance, pension payments and interest.

In terms of growth in disposable income, Northern Ireland saw the biggest increase with 4%, compared with an average of 3.5%. Overall, people in London and the South-East have 15% of the UK’s total disposable income. England has 85%, Scotland 8%, Wales 4% and Northern Ireland 3%.

I'm in Brampton, dunno if you've heard of it, which is nice but expensive too. I went to Ely for the first time last year, it is pretty.
