I don't think this would be a economical idea? Some won't want to up sticks, and the cost. Why keep building housing estates in the South Of England when there is land in the North!! |

yeah but it's freezing up there... 3 months of bad weather, followed by 9 months of winter every year.......
There's a lot of plus points to everyone moving South.
1. It's warmer here- so a smaller carbon footprint for winter heating, and we'd all be much closer together- shared bodily warmth - it's win-win.
2. It's closer to London- so less travelling to get your Jimmy Choos
3. We could close the M1, M62 and A1M - think of the grit we'd save in the winter....
4. We could rent out the North as a big open cold space, maybe use it as a natural fridge for the European Butter Mountain.
I cannot believe that a proffesional study goup would...
1. Come up with such a stupid idea.
2. Think it so good they should write it down.
3. Then tell other people about it.
4. Keep their jobs |

Rachel,
The weather up here is currently fine.
1.London is flat and boring, I've just driven home from Wakefield and the views from the M62 were fab.
2. It is well known that south of Nottingham is a cultural desert.
3. If we moved down there, we may raise the tone of the place, we need a good dog track - how about the M25? _________________ Geddon

We've had a lovely holiday in various parts of the UK but Northumberland is where my heart is.
I can't believe anyone, let alone a professional study group, could come up with such drivel.

Think we should find somewhere for them to live down there, either on a floodplain, below sea level, or 50 feet away from the Essex cliffs, where the nearest town has no available space in its NHS doctors'/dentists' lists or state schools, no post office, no weekend bus service, railway station ten miles away and it's the line from Cambridge to London.
They'd soon be suggesting paying everyone to stay in the North. _________________ Ron |

Maybe the North could be a retiurement home. Young people could come down to London, make their millions and then head up North to spend it! _________________ His name was ernie ........ and he drove the fastest milk cart in the west..... |
