Places You Wouldn't Want To Live in The U.K.
When most people imagine the United Kingdom, they think of London, wry humor and polite people. It might seem unthinkable that Great Britain has some real dung piles among its treasures but these 5 cities will have you wondering why there is a “Great” in front of “Britain”.
At number 5. Sandwell
The available jobs in this West Midlands town are so poorly paid that the average resident has zero disposable income. The good news for locals is that Sandwell has a pretty high mortality rate, so they don’t have to suffer for very long.
At Number 4. Gwent Valleys
No matter which metric you choose to measure Gwent Valleys scores poorly. Crime? Check. Poor healthcare? Check. A-hole teenagers all around? Oh yeah. In a country that’s filled with coastline and rolling hills, Gwent Valleys has none of that. It’s just the worst.
At Number 3. High Wycombe
Petty crime and drug use are present; as is a low employment rate. The little money High Wycombe does have it spends on the schools which is great. Of course, that doesn’t do the average tourist any good.
At Number 2. Southampton
Southampton is simply filled with half-destroyed buildings blotting the landscape. To be fair, the place was bombed in World War II. That is a pretty solid excuse, but on the other hand, they’ve had the better part of eighty years to get the place back in order …
And at number 1. Morecambe
In the 1930s, luminaries like Coco Chanel used to hang out in Morecambe These days, Morecambe is more known for its dilapidation. The coastline outside the city is stunning, but if you’re being completely honest, coasts aren’t exactly a point of pride, and neither is Morecambe.
Where do you think the worst place in Great Britain is?

The (secret) City of London is NOT part of the UK | England
The City of London is NOT London! Looks like a play on words but it's not. They are completely different cities.
I have been may times in London and there is so many things to do in the City of London, but this time I thought about talking a bit about the secret City of London.
The City of London is also knows as The City and The Square Mile because it only has about 1.12 square miles.
I talk on the video about the City of London about some secrets and facts about it but there is one in particular that most of the people don't know, and that is the London Bridge and the London Tower are not owner by London's government but they are owned by The City of London Corporation.
Some say that the City of London is not part of the UK, I don't know about that but the facts that I say on the video about the city of London I know they are true.
The city of London has a different mayor and he is usually called The Right Honourable Lord Mayor of London, The Lord Mayor of London has full authority over The City of London, The Square Mile.
There are many conspiracies about banking and finance in The City but for sure The City owns a lot of buildings and places outside of the perimeter of The City.

Travel Hacks SECRET LEGROOM BUTTON | Airport & Airplane Tips 2018
Of all the travel tips and travel hacks out there, this one has been the most useful. One big problem with air travel is legroom, especially in economy class. Travel advice and flying tips are dime a dozen, but this simple travel hack with save you a lot of discomfort if you end up with a aisle seat. This is one of the best tips I've found, and one I think everyone should know.
Under the arm wrest of the aisle seat there is a secret button. Pressing this switch lifts the armrest up, and allows you to have much more leg room, and leg movement, especially when you need to exit the row.
80% of airplanes have this feature, but unfortunately not all of them do. It is there for flight attendants to left the armrest to allow for ease of exit during an emergency, and also for the disabled.
Travelers rejoice, those long haul flights might have gotten a little more comfortable, and air transport a little more enjoyable. It's basically one of my travel essentials now.
As a travel vlogger, this legroom button has saved my life. Enjoy one the top flight attendant secrets

The Cheapest Places to Live in the World in 2019.
In International Living’s Annual Global Retirement Index 2019, we ranked the 25 best retirement havens in the world, where you can live comfortably for less than you can in the US. And while all of these destinations are affordable, we have ranked the most cost-effective havens in the “Cost of Living” category of the Index.
This is possibly our most definitive category in the Index, due to the ease of getting hard numbers. Each of our on-the-ground correspondents fills out an extensive cost-of-living questionnaire, tailored to the needs and wants of an expat retiree. The category evaluates things like day-to-day expenses—from the cost of a flight back to the US groceries, rent, movie theater tickets, eating out, garbage collection, gas, gym membership, and all the hidden and often unconsidered costs.
Here are the five countries that score highest in the Cost of Living category of the 2019 Annual Global Retirement Index.
5. Bolivia
4. Peru
3. Thailand
2. Vietnam
1. Cambodia

London Districts: Richmond
Episode 38 puts the spotlight on the south west London district of 'Richmond'. We mingle with the locals on a nice and shiny Spring day to get a feel of life there and discuss some the reasoning and stories behind how it came to be such a beloved part of London.
Transcription (truncated):
----------------------------------------
Richmond is the principal district inside the massive London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames along with the areas of Kew, Twickenham and Hampton to name a few.
The view we are looking at are the meadows and riverbanks of Petersham, a village on the eastern end of the district and Ham Lands, a nature reserve in the Ham area which crosses over into Richmond.
This district is as large as most inner London boroughs and more than 75% of it is Richmond Park wrapped inside an 8 mile, Grade II listed wall. It's 7 times bigger than Hyde Park, 32 times bigger than Greenwich Park and Green Park can fit inside it 60 times. At 2,300 acres, it is by far the largest of all the Royal parks. About 650 red and fallow deer roam around in there freely with the public and they shape the way the park looks.
Richmond upon Thames is the only borough in Greater London stretching across both sides of our meandering river situated 8 miles away from Charing Cross in transport zone 4.
Until 1501, Richmond was known as Shene. The last two letters were later swapped around to read s-h-e-e-n. Henry VIII's dad, the last English king to win his throne on the field of battle, renamed the place Richmond. The word is adapted from old French Richmont which is simply rich or splendid together with mont which means hill.
So, we're here in Richmond to enjoy this gorgeous day, by the river, fantastic foodie market. We're drinking Rose by Conte Leopardi; our wines are naturally made, just gorgeous drinking. No sugars added on a sunny day out in Richmond close by the Thames.
Richmond is a place that pays homage to its becoming. It includes a free museum which showcases its history and produces the remembrance poppies sold each November for Remembrance Day.
The atmosphere in Richmond is perfectly suited to its infrastructural make-up. On a nice day, the riverside quickly becomes full of people partaking in the beautiful setting by the river. If you plan to see all Richmond has to offer, I would advise renting a bike, a row boat or taking a cruise up and down it.
This place has a reputation for being well looked after and visually pretty. It is also officially the London district with the lowest amount of poverty and has very low-crimes rates. It's no secret that Richmond is the district of choice for several of our most renowned international actors, musicians and athletes. The list is long but you may find the likes of Angelina Jolie, Tom Hardy, Jane Horrocks, Brad Pitt, Mick Jagger and ahem Rick Astley walking past you.
This is the church of St Mary Magdalene, the sinner who Jesus reformed by casting 7 demons out of her. After she told her mates what he did, they also became his followers.
Richmond Theatre opened in 1899 beside Little Green with a performance of 'As You Like It'.
At the heart of the town sits Richmond Green which is almost square open grassland. The locals tell me this is the real treasure of Richmond. They go there to chill out on summer weekends and public holidays. It was traditionally used for archery since the 16th century but is now much better known as one of the places cricket matches began in England. The 92-year-old celebrated broadcaster and naturalist Sir David Attenborough actively lives in a house circling this green and describes Richmond as his ''favourite place by a long way''.
Gelateria Danieli was birthed in Richmond making authentic gelato more readily available in the UK. Richmond Bridge is 243 years old, the oldest surviving bridge over the River Thames. Ham house here is the most completely in tact one across Europe from 1610.
