crashmonitor Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Depends if you go for the centre of UK population or the centre of the UK land mass. If you pull out the entire land mass by computer into a circle apparently the centre would be just south of Chesterfield...indeed at that very point at Stone Edge in Derbyshire they were going to have a theme park for the centre of the UK (probably stood as much chance as Blobby world or whatever it was)...so Leeds not a million miles out.

Up the spout Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Depends if you go for the centre of UK population or the centre of the UK land mass.

Says they who live in the Peak District. Even when I lived in Bradford, Leeds was not the centre of England (even with the new, shiny House of Fraser opening). To geographically place Parly-a-mental would be putting living up to the name mental, take Canada for instance where the centre is Baker Lake.

zugzwang Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 ..we need to move Parliament out of London..it currently creates the the Londoncentric imbalance in the UK ..somewhere central like Leeds or York or a custom built new town ...Australia has Canberra, Brazil - Brasilia, Nigeria - Abuja, US - Washington, Canada - Ottawa ...why don't we move .?..bit late as they have already booked a temp residence while the old building is repaired...... Tory HQ appears to have settled for Brussels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pig Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yep, and you know what? When a crash happens, it'll be like a 20% drop, but then prices will climb again. In other words, UK property prices are designed to stretch finances to the max for FTBs. It will always be this way. Wanna buy in the UK? Then be prepared to take on 6 figures of borrowing. It will always be the case. Edit: OR, just rent forever. Edit 2: OR rent for a bit, then emigrate. There is no 4th choice of waiting for a crash that creates affordable housing. 5) Is large scale tenure change: tonnes of social housing + stable long term leases in the private sector. Sort of a short to medium term splint, but also would help smooth over any ruptions if and when the financial system, that you believe will last forever, breaks down.
