Nah, Mermaid's a Brummie, though you wouldn't know it when you hear her speak. 
York's a smashing place. I could live there.

York is lovely, I could live there too if it was just a tad warmer.

When you say a tad, maybe you mean an average of 25c warmer.

True, but I very much doubt I could afford to live there now - I am shocked at how expensive it is in the UK.

I'm beginning to think that the UK is catching us up with regards to the cost of living

If the cost of living over here starts to fall compared to the UK, we're going to get all the spongers coming over! 
With a bit of luck, this country will go tits up in the next while
Oh wait, it did already!

1.45 euro here ( how do you get that euro sign to work?), that works out about £1.20 sterling
