York

So here we are, checking out York, is it still the place for us?  In a recent BBC survey of the country's bast places to live, the criteria used were as follows;
1) Life expectancy
2) Quality of the schools
3) Quality of the Diet
4) average disposable income
5) proportion of school leavers going on to higher education
6) Unemployment rates
7) proportion of white collar, blue collar jobs
8) Crime rate

For our purposes, we've tweeked this slightly
1) Quality of the local pubs
2) proximity to Premier League football (when the Boro get promoted)
3) proximity to the sea-side/national parks
4) transport links
5) Quality of the fish and chips
6) has it got a Waitrose (Bunty insisted)
7) Quality of the charity shops (I seem to be losing control of this list)
8) Average rainfall/temperature/sunshine (well .. you can't have everything)
