so everyone should just move south!!

Yeah, of course, why didn't anyone else think of that?

Because it is completely unworkable and abject nonsense perhaps. I am stunned that people get paid, probably very handsomely, to produce this drivel.

Seriously though, WTF?

North of the Watford Gap, mate...

Lancs ? It's okay, but there are parts of it I would nuke. Mainly certain towns on the M55 corridor.

Note : I live in a bit of merseyside which is only half a mile from the West Lancs Border.

North Lancashire is not bad at all - Forest of Bowland for example, and Lancaster's a nice small city.

Yes, I am, why not? It's got rich history, beautiful countryside, wonderful villages and friendly people.

Good university (major employer)
Adequate shopping
Good pubs and a few ok clubs
Very good schools (Girls and Boys Grammars)
Easy access to Bowland, the Dales and the Lakes
Direct trains to Manchester (+ Airport), Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh and London

It would be one of the places I'd move to if I was heading back north.

No, it's a terrible place where people live on black pudding. On the other side of the Pennines though lies the Earthly paradise of Yorkshire (provided you ignore most of the Cities).
