==Best place to live?== 
 Kendal was pronounced the best place to live in England by an eight-year long survey undertaken by the University of Strathclyde, and those who live there. 

 While I have a vague recollection of this story appearing in the Westmorland Gazette a few years ago, my attempts to verify it have produced (other than Wikipedia mirrors) only this web page. Further searches for Strathclyde University's Quality of Life Research Group have yielded very little of use. Furthermore, the last bit of that sentence is decidedly POV. If a reliable source for this piece of information can be found then it would be good to include it (preferably with more details eg. what were their criteria, when was the survey carried out?), but in the meantime I've got rid of it.
