Lovely bit about happiest and most miserable places in the UK. As a Glaswegian ( albeit adopted) its no surprise that Edinburgh tops the poll as most miserable, with outer regions near Glasgow being about 4th most miserable ( they are pretty dire).
Surprisingly, Cumbernauld ( not Cumbernault as they have it) came in 4th as happiest. The survey mentions that social cohesiveness tends to make people happier. In Cumbernauld's case this must be that noone goes there from outside, and in a recent poll, most of its residents wanted to blow up the whole place.

Actually, Cumbernauld is well known for being an affordable, medium sized place with good schools for familiies to move to within easy reach of glasgow and edinburgh where they can't afford to live: the people living there don't give a crap about architecture, but they do care about giving their kids a decent sized home and good schools!
Cumbernaud won't be selling any Titians then
Ah, glad to see that economoics has got a look in. OF COURSE somewhere cheaper to live makes people happier... but they would still like to blow it up. And WW, the only Titian is Ian XXYZ who is known as the local tit...
