That was in Norwich, and some of my classmates were aghast that there was something beyond Norfolk.

Originally posted by Euro-commuterMyth. 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).
Dam statistics!
