Probably Guernsey - I've always been fascinated by the Channel Islands. Apparently like England but without the faults.
Failing that, Iceland seems very interesting.

I have a friend from Iceland. Seems like a fun place. Every Friday night EVERY young person congregates in the city square and has a gathering.
For most of the Winter though they don't venture out the house and have food etc delivered. That might be a bit grim.
No heating bills though as all the homes are heated by underground volcanic springs.
Apparently.

Am I right in thinking though that Scandinavian nations have a markedly high suicide rate? It may not be such a fun place to live after all.

And London has the highest suicide rate in the UK. Not surprising really, it really is a shit hole. American tourists must be very disapointed when they visit.

London is a wonderful city! There are far worse places to live.
But I don't think anything will beat Birmingham - and the Black Country of course. The people there are amazing.

Wouldn't mind living on the Scilly Isles, or Scillia as they like to call themselves now.
Growing flowers, etc.
Or the Azores.

I might agree with you but for her personal good fortune. She was in my year at drama school. Very talented. Such a small place her homeland is, her brother was a rock star whilst her mother was a soap opera star. Everything to live for then, if you like that sort of thing.
Oh, and I just google searched her (as it's been years since we spoke).
She's pretty, too.

Oh yes she is.
Massive cans, too.
Not that I care about such things.
