Chichester named one of the worst places to live in England

Chichester has been ranked the 47th worst place in a new survey by the satirical website I Live Here, after a 'record-breaking' 125,681 people voted. 

According to the webite: "Chichester is a city with delusions of grandeur.

"It wants to be Bath, Oxford or Winchester.

"It cannot hope to match the cultural significance of these, or the affluence of the towns and cities such as Petersfield, Haslemere and Guildford with their direct commuter routes to London.

"It has a large student population but cannot match the vibe and pull of Brighton, lacking any nightclubs due to the puritans and busybodies who curb any such fun.

"If you want to see genuine middle of the road mediocrity posing as if it were part of a cultural elite, visit Chichester.

"They want you to think they’re the sort of people who get their coffee and sandwiches from Pret-a-manger and attend Glyndebourne, but they’ve got barely enough cash for a Greggs sausage roll and a bus to Summersdale."
