Agreed.

I will neither speculate nor comment on any possible connection between
this difference in degree of rushedness and the threefold difference in
GDP per capita [1] between London and the north.

Most probably true, but money isn't everything. I would be
interesting to see how the comparison would work if compared between
similarly sized entities such as "the North" and "the South East", or
"Manchester and London", though - while I expect it to be the same way
round, I would not expect it to be as drastic.

I will have a nose at said link later to see if it has such stats...
