[the truth]

The UK is top 5 or 6 for total gdp
i.e total wealth created per annum

but wealth per head we are 23rd

then when you take into account the fact 90% of the wealth is only by the few what are we left with?

[waterhog]

as long as with have TIBB forum - we are all rich.

[smudgie]

Depends on how you define rich.

Might not be as many people here up North with gold taps but enough of us have a roof over our heads and a warm meal on the table.
I dare say we don't have as many poor people as some other countries, and a lot of the so called poor are not really poor either.

[kirklancaster]

ARE WE RICH - THIS SUMS IT UP HOG.

ARE WE RICH HOG? THIS ANSWERS EVERYTHING:

The Wales and Northern Ireland figures are Gross Value Added, while the rest of the list is Gross Domestic Product. That's two different things.

Now we're adding drugs to our GDP the rules will be relaxed and Is I said months ago Cannabis will almost certainly be legalised.
Anything to claw that AAA rating.
