The figures can't be relied upon because they don't take into account the vast amount of time that people from the north have to spend on complaining.

Whether it's about depleting fish stocks, wind farms, post office closures, cuts in bus services etc...the northerners have to spend upwards of 13 hours a day complaining.

If you take this into consideration, I think north and south are about on par.

You've probably got about 100 years of catching up to do then. Keep going.

What are these numbers - average tax paid?

So the highest earners are in the South?

Is that news?

Since when did low pay equate to lazyness?

Stock brokers--- Nurses

Hmmm does anybody else smell a logic bypass?

Question Author

jake,

the term gross value added is a very useful tool of the office for national statistics,

it measures how much contribution an area makes toward the economy as a whole,

presumably the performance of an area is attributable directly to its inhabitants,

i agree that low pay does not relate necessarily to laziness, i know quite a few very well paid lazy people, they tend to be clever though which helps,

Is the concentration of more people in the South included in the equation?
