Where would you rather live?

[Wolford6]

Skipton or Abergavenny?

Best town in Yorkshire v best town in Wales.

It's not as if anywhere else counts.

You anarchists!

The rule is you take the town that won and compare that to a new town.

In this case, we will compare Skipton to Bradford. We cannot do that, because @Johnoco can confirm they are definately the same place with a Waitrose.

So...

Skipton or Merthyr Tydfil

We're actually still at Karlovy Vary or Kalgoorlie if we follow the route taken in the game started at the beginning but it got hijacked a lot quicker than I thought it would. Didn't think it would work too well with a lot of people. Oh well, I'll leave you all to it.

Karlovy looks lovely.

But, how would I choose between there and Skipton?

Yes, it does look great, but it tastes horrible.

Stupid place-names that English people struggle to pronounce.

Fortunately, you don't get any of that nonsense in Wales.

Ilkley nominated last week as Britain's best place to live. Stuart Cummings has moved to Ilkley. And he's now an ECB match official for county cricket.

Ilkley or Skegness?

I once heard Ilkley described as 'Harrogate for beginners'!

I appreciate that, but I just can't see how I will be able to ever work that into a conversation

You could always try South America. Somewhere in the Andes, there must be a Llama Pass.

There's a village in Peru called Llama. Only thing of any note there is a bullring, at least that's all that looked interesting about the place on Google maps....

Would you rather live in Llama or Leigh??

Somewhere that isn't Rovrum

Llama, obviously. At least they've had the common decency to spell it with the Welsh "LL".

Just up the road from Newark, it takes longer to drive through it than walk through it. The traffic's a sod.

I have a client near there at Hoveringham. For many years, half of Bradford's mixconcrete wagons were run by "Hoveringham Gravels". Given that Bradford currently has a population of ~500,000, when I first went to my client's firm, i asumed that Hoveringham would be a biggish town. It's actually a size equivalent to about two terraced streets in Bradford, and accessed down country lanes. I manage to get lost most times that I go there.

But no longer a Llama Karme Kafe, sadly.  Wacky place, I can testify.

Llama Karma Kafe closes on the A66 near Penrith | News and Star

Does Llama have a train station by any chance?
