Worlds most liveable city

Is it actually great for you living there? If so, you've peaked, how does it feel to know you can never live better than you do right now?

Feels amazing, i couldn't be happier off to celebrate and go on a one year bender until the next years results :D

My mate from Zimbabwe is pissed off the Harare still couldn't pass Tripoli :giggle:

Pfft. Australia. Bloody expensive.

Don't you have riots in Melbourne occasionally? How's public transport down there? Are the parks big and spectacular enough? Do you have great marina?Can I go and ski within an hour away from the city? biggrin.gif

Aren't those surveys a bit biased (oh, look - the Economist is evaluating new potential investment zones and Australia needs more attention)?

Leaving the constant rain out of the equation, Vancouver is still the No.1 for me. tongue.png

(Having said that, I always wanted to come and see the improvements in Aussieland with my own two eyes, so watch this space)

No riots, Trams, trains and Buses. Heaps of parks and gardens, There is a few marinas and a big one being built where i live, skiing is 2 hours away, not biased just stating facts :P

When were you last here?

When I lived in Melborne the thing that pissed me off the most was the time it took to drive anywhere.

I lived in Elwood / St Kilda 'boarder' just off the main road by the beach which is not too far from the city. To get out to the countryside would take 2 hours plus and to get to other areas in Melbourne could take even longer. To get to the local JB HiFi took an hour or to Chapel Street 1/2 hour. To me these big citys should not be top of the list.

Stkilda to the city is a 10 minute drive even in peak hour and St.Kilda to Chappel street 10-15 minutes max in peak hour.......i did it 2 weeks ago, you must drive like an elderly lady :thumbup:

Nah that's London

Haha - although not wishing to live there i can't say I've found a City I've liked better than London. I just didn't realise that was the reason!

Can't judge Melbourne, having never been, but relatives have loved it there. Me I'd consider great times spent in Sorrento, Italy, the Swiss cities of Lucern or Lausanne and even Monaco for its wonderful surroundings on the Cote D'Azur.

But in the end I'd choose Oxford. I never tire of the place.

There's always so much to do and it's close enough to London, the South coast, the Cotswolds and my family (plus the football) in and around Leicester. A Victorian house off the Banbury Road would be perfect.

Sydney for me.. Although been offered a job out of our Melbourne office which I'm considering.

If you want somewhere similiar to Leicester, try Slough... I worked there for 2 years.. Only place on par with our City I've seen..
