North South Divide worsens
Apparently according to official figures the UK North South divide is widening.
For every 12 jobs created in the south one is lost in the north. Southern economy is booming, northern economy is still contracting.
Cameron's answer... HS2 will close the gap I didn't realise he had turned into a comedian

The most shocking fact of the morning is that the biggest single cause of death for under 50 males is suicide - wow (and I think by some margin)
And to add, last week my wife was told a guy we both met at a drinks party over Xmas, hung himself last week, leaving a wife a two teenage children ( I spoke at length to the son about his dreams of a career in music - tragic)
Anyway don't want to derail the thread - north / south
Nothing we don't really know though

The economically mobile will tend to follow where the money is and go where there is a better chance to improve their quality of life. It's self perpetuated, more prosperous regions will attract more investments, more investments means more jobs.

I thought that the housing market up North had a better percentage growth in recent months which would indicate the jobs market improving i would of thought, although I could be wrong.

North - South divide getting worse? Well not for me old boy.
I have tried hating Northerners more than I do but I can't manage it.
I even got up earlier this morning so I could hate them for longer.
