France is the best place to live says study

[Madame Adequate]

You'll have to pay through the roof for anything in London, but on the flipside, they'll pay you more just because you live there and no other reason alone (which is a joke, I do the same job and earn less, wtf?).

I don't see what's so weird about that, it's pretty much universal that when you live somewhere more expensive you get paid more If you got the same pay as Londoners do, Edinburgh would be as expensive as London.
