Take some time for yourself with soothing classical music from the mindful mix,

the Science of Happiness Podcast.

For the last 20 years I've dedicated my career to exploring the science of living a happier more meaningful life and I want

to share that science with you.

And just one thing, deep calm with Michael Mosley.

I want to help you tap in to your hidden relaxation response system and open the door to that

calmer place within. Listen on BBC Sounds.

This is a Thinking Loud Podcast from the BBC and for more details in our terms of use and

much, much more about thinking aloud, go to our website at BBC.co. UK.

Hello. We're rather Manicaean, aren't we, about our sense of place.

You know, I mean, we find it difficult to say why we like where we live without contrasting it with the place where we wouldn't

want to be seen dead. I can remember that when I lived in Crosby people were constantly saying that, oh, thank

God they didn't live in Liverpool. It was just six miles up the road. And I know North Londoners who wouldn't risk going anywhere across the river.

And when I lived in York, barely a day pass without someone slagging off leads.

Now one element in this dichotomizing is often poshness.

Comedians who came to the Liverpool Empire could always get a laugh

mentioned in the upper-class area of Alerton. They don't go to bed there, Dave Morris used to say, they retire. In London,

the posh, other is often hamstead or Dulwich. And in York, it was often Hebden Bridge, which is regarded by traditional Yorkies as well a bit of a disgrace to the county, a place full of arty puffs and rich parasites.

We'd have gained a rather different picture from this 2009 documentary film.
