    As a born and bred sarf landaner - it's a great place to work.

    But we move out to let all the Scots, Irish, Kiwis, South Africans, Poles, Aussies, Lithuanians etc have somewhere to come and run the service industries, and go and live somewhere nicer

    Is this based on sadguru and his 300 fake ids surveys?

    I've had several programming jobs in Swindon, and often considered my main qualification was that I would actually work in Swindon.

    One place was so bad with the 5pm rush out the door, that when I stayed a little later one evening I found myself locked in ... at 6pm.

    I like this bit:

    1. Friendly, supportive colleagues
    2. Enjoyable work
    3. Good boss or line manager
    4. Good work/life balance
    5. Varied work
    of course, all good developers know that array indexes begin at 0.

    I am happy in London. Huge pay and I can buy a whole Northern town with the proceeds of my BTL studio flat over the kebab shop in Hackney.
