Interesting Facts

According to Lloyds bank, Oxford is the least affordable city to live in the UK when compared to local wages. (On average houses in Oxford sell for £340,000, which is 11 times local salaries. And renting isn't that great an option either, with one-bed flats fetching around £900 a month, so to be able to afford to rent it you would have to be earning £36,000 a year. I don't think I'll ever be able to afford to move back to the UK.)

 Hamburg, Germany’s second largest city, is planning to ban all cars from its centre over the next 20 years. ( Their new urban development scheme, “Green Network”, will see all vehicles banned in the city centre by 2034. Instead people will move about the port city, either via  public transport, on foot or by bicycle. Gives a whole new meaning to "on your bike".)
