Quote King Street Cat="King Street Cat"I had to scratch my head when I saw that transport links were considered a factor. Living in the centre of Wakefield I can be on the A1 in around 20 minutes, and the M1 and M62 in around 10 minutes. I can get on a train at Westgate, one of Wakefield's 2 railway stations, and be in Leeds in 15 minutes, Sheffield in 20 minutes, York in 40 minutes and London in 2 hours. Compare this to the backwards nature of Oxfordshire, where I spent a long weekend this Summer, and Wakefield looks like a commuter's dream!'"
Yes, but you forgot that other than the Cotswolds nowhere north of the 18th hole on Potters Bar golf course is worth bothering about. Things are far superior in the south, so they assume.
I live in Wakefield (WF4) and spent my working life driving around the country to various jobs and I've been to a lot worse places in may opinion, Bracknell, Slough, Dagenham, Romford. Strangely enough all in the south.
