London's GDP is roughly equal to the rest of the country's although in population terms only 1/6.
PS Northeners can't even spell divide (see thread title!)
Why would I want to pay half a million quid to live in a 1 bedroom squallor, surrounded by 100 different languages, with no prospect of breaking 20mph in my car, only to have a 31.4% chance of being knifed to death or robbed on the way back from a night out / shopping trip, whilst developing breathing problems by the age of 45 due to the pollution and smog generated by the billion car queues. On the plus side at least the pollution and smog create an artificial increase in the temperature, maybe that's why southerners always think it's warmer down south.
Gonna stay up north where it's grim I think!

Quite right - stay in Manchester, where there's a 31.4% chance of being gunned down in the street instead of knifed.
