So the city with the worst crime in the whole of Scotland is the city with the lowest crime rate in the whole of the UK? That I could believe that. Violent crime in London has skyrocketed recently.

WTF is Devon at the bottom?

It’s official! Devon named as best place to live in the UK | Exeter Express and Echo

Utter tosh. Country Life magazine voted it the best place to live in England. And I find it hard to argue with that having lived and worked in a variety of places across the entire Island.

I live in Devon. The squalor is unimaginable. Can you believe that my nearest Waitrose is 16 miles away? I don't know how I cope.
