RESIDENTS in St Albans have been recognised as the 11th most house-proud people in the country - beating the likes of Oxford, Manchester and London.

Milton Keynes has been revealed as the UK's most house proud town interior design website, mydeco.com.

The website found Milton Keynes contains more people interested in designing and shopping for their homes than anywhere else in the country.

  Watford came second, with Brighton third. Croydon, in south London, was found to have the least house proud residents. 

Dr Linda Papadopoulos said,  "It just goes to shows that even this credit crunch can't stop us being immensely proud of the home we live in, to a large extent it's about feeling we are investing in those things that make us feel safe and that give us an identity - while we may be willing to forgo evenings out and even holidays, investing in our homes gives us a feeling of consistency and comfort."
