Mostly it's a question of trend. Near Turin (Italy) going North small houses cost a freaking lot while going South the prices tend to lower. Despite the climate and terrain being much better on the South side, as on the North it is highly probable that when it snows you'll be locked home due to high pendence hills and higher precipitations. Also public transportation is way less dense and organized, the humudity is barely tolerable and the houses are ancient.
But North is trendy because it's closer to Sestriere, Bardonecchia and Ceresole, notable skiing locations. Also the first escapees from the city moved there and created a huge mystique about the place while almost everyone who moved South downplayed a lot - mostly to not being invaded by city-dwellers. Yes we of Asti are a bit aloof and wary...

Not just Luton but the whole of Bedfordshire is being avoided due to high levels of crapacity.

I did take a look at the prices of pipelines.
So I wondered, who's living in Fife?

Welcome! Your moving to Israel would probably increase the sanity levels in both the U.K. and Israel.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Sadly not Israel. My wife spent four years there before we met though and keeps nagging that we visit at some point.

Our next couple of holidays are already sorted but we may be heading Jerusalem early next year if plans pan out as desired. You have been warned!

OK it's not me then. Thought it might be as I knew you were looking at one job down here, but I see you've ruled further South out.
Shame really as I could have showed you how to really drink.

Chichester and about is still in the fray; but it just looks like we'll get a better place for our pounds by getting out of the South East.

I'm guessing it's near Chris Elston.
Chi is sort of nice, but for a City very boring. You won't find a boozer open after 11pm.

OK then. Because I can't be bothered doing what I'm supposed to be doing.
You've said it is a city, you've said you are looking North and West (don't know where you currently are so assuming NW of London), not as far north as Manchester or Liverpool, in England, further than Buckinghamshire, and you can pronounce it. Was that all the clues?
Birmingham - surely not.
Chester - Hollyoaks (may not be representative, but it is all I know about the place)
Coventry - even uglier than Birmingham
Derby - consistently one of the best places to live in the UK (apparently)
Gloucester - silly accents
Hereford - as above but closer to Wales
Leicester - might as well be in Luton
Lichfield - nothing here but pubs and restaurants
Oxford - I can't afford to park there, let alone live.
Stoke-on-Trent - no-one lives in Stoke, they merely exist
Wolverhampton - ha ha ha
Worcester - quite nice when it's above water
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Not NW, but North and West; so North of here or West of here but not the Socialist People's Republic of The Mersey.

Since you're into finance it could be Leeds, but that would be a bit like Luton wouldn't it?

But does he mean city in the strict English sense or in the very loose American sense?

To be honest the people that make Hollyoaks seem to know as much about Chester as you do! Gorgeous place but a magnet for the Northern glitterati so expensive!

Wot? One of the sexiest accents in the world. Can't beat Russian obviously but it's a close run thing.

Nobody drives in Oxford!

I've a lovely image:
You in your new windmill design home, happy villagers coming at night to celebrate with torches and sharp farm implements.
Congrats!
