http://www.theguardian.com/society/...-are-in-north-england-rochdale-burnley-bolton Here's the proof as if you Monkeys didn't know it already. "No city in the south of England featured in the top 24 of the index." Naturally.
Neither Bolton, Burnley or Rochdale are cities. They might have populations of >100k, but they're near Manchester and suffer as a result.
I'm all for sharing the wealth around. Belgium does pretty well out of us. Maybe Bolton could be the next Belgium?
