Cyclone Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Sure, you're just the cleverest person around. And, you magically know the source of ALL my knowledge. Oh wait... No, you're entirely wrong. ---------- Post added 02-11-2015 at 15:13 ---------- I saw more hot spots outside London than inside London. Well duh. You can only see 1 in a single location. It just happens to be absolutely huge. The UK economy is dominated these days by London Not according to this. ONS produces interactive map showing economic activity across UK http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/HTMLDocs/dvc134_d/index.html You are trying to refute that London forms a large, maybe dominant part of the UK economy.. London generates approximately 22 per cent of the UK's GDP I'd happen to agree that 22% is not dominating, but the map didn't show that, the figure does.

No, I demonstrated that the UK economy isn't dominated by London. London is the largest and most densely populated city in the UK so it should have a larger economy than any other city or area, but other than the financial center its no better than the rest of the country and the map clearly shows that.

Okay then to save me time and to have it all in one place summarise how you proved it and whetever it is you claim to have proven, then I cna work from that. You can give me your top 5-10 points. Ill come back to it later today. It will also be convenient for anyone else look at the thread then they cna make up their own minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Is it a North/South divide, or is it a London and surrounding areas/rest of the country divide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Is it a North/South divide, or is it a London and surrounding areas/rest of the country divide? I'd say it's more London and surrounding areas. Cornwall for example is relatively poor. However London prices seem to be having a much wider effect further afield. Prices seem to be going up everywhere. For example 2 tickets for a seaside show in Llandudno Wales, £80. 2 cups of coffee in Leeds £8.70. Family day out at a theme park getting on for £100. Prices aren't just going up a bit at a time but by 25-35% Gentrification is all very well, but a lot of people are simply being priced out of quite ordinary things. Rents and house prices are in a catagory all of their own - rocketing in lots of places, so much so, that people without jobs cannot afford to move to where the work is. This is one of the causes of the North - South divide. The economy is supposed to be improving according to the government, but not in the North its not. Ever climbing prices for the sake of it is not real growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
