I'd count agricultural as settled but thats by the by. So where would you
build on then?

Central Line will take you acroos London and also the new Crossrail even
quicker. Now you know.

You ever been on the central line in rush hour?

I'm guessing you work for a developer and/or estate agency or have
some other vested interest in building sprawl.

We can't sprawl anywhere as there is just too much land in the UK. The
place is empty.

Perhaps when you've finished being a know it all student get yourself a proper
job by a car and drive around this country like I have then you see how empty
it isn't. Sure , the highlands and central wales are pretty sparse but thats
about it.

Right, because there was never crop failure or animal disease which
meant peasents couldn't pay the tax was there, back in those bucolic
times you apparently hark back to.

The peasants never paid any taxes, only landowners.

History not your strong point I see. I would suggest you google the peasants
revolt.
