Englands Second City

[wendigo100]

Anyway, just so long as Liverpool recieved NO votes, I'm a happy chap. What a scum-infested, wretched little grief hole that place is. Full of undesirable, work-shy, under-educated cretins.

Now you're talking! Any scousers like to put up an argument for your city, instead of merely throwing tulipe back in the direction of Norwich, which cannot be an all-bad place as it was where I spent part of my childhood?

Oh, received.

[terrier]

Is it only me who finds the term 'yid' offensive?

Yes.

Now run along boy and polish some wood or fake your own death on an internet forum (again).

Presumably you are from norwich, at least in liverpool people will breed with anyone whereas in Norfolk they only breed within their family circles

Erm, no... I've never even been to Norwich... I'm from Canterbury you thick hick.

...oh wait a minute London subsidises the rest of the UK... win win

Myth. Most of the wealth created in Britain appears to be created at the registered office of the company that does it.

Vodafone's 16 million subscribers might as well all be in London, as far as profit centre location goes.
BP's oil rigs out in the North Sea post their profit in London. In fact so do the Russian ones.

Conversely, infrastructure projects in London are usually classified as national projects, whereas those elsewhere are regional. So London's cost seems lower than it is.

The reality is, as for capitals and empires throughout history, that the rest of the country subsidises London. I don't mind, that is in the nature of things. But I won't shut up when someone describes it as if the wealth flowed the other way (this applies especially whan that someone is a loud prat called Ken).

Where's Leeds?

You cant be serious!

[zathras]

on what basis?

It was our industrial capital whereas London is the administrative one!
