Why does south of the river feel different to north? Is it the fashion, music different cultures, more money? People i've met seem to feel they 'belong' and seem to stick to one or the other. What's the deal?

In this days, every country uses "made in China" products but why it seems that only UK (second behind Tokyo) has such a high cost of living? Is it that not enough competition to bring the cost down? Or the OFT needs to do something?

I just put on a question and someone said "what country are you from"? after I put this on!
No-one seems to know where it is, or that it exists.
County Durham - North East England
Home to Durham University and Cathedral.
Birth place of Stan Laurel and was home to Lindisfarne Gospels until London stole them.

The UK is bottom of a league table for child well-being across 21 industrial countries, a report by Unicef says.

The charity looked at 40 indicators including poverty, relationships with parents, health and safety, behaviour, and children's own sense of well-being.

The Netherlands came top of the group, followed by Sweden, Denmark and Finland, while the US was second from bottom.

What is your view of the report's findings? Is the UK failing its children? How important is the well-being of children in your country?

What's your experience of transport in the UK today?

The Department for Transport is only meeting two out of seven targets, according to the House of Commons Transport Committee.

Missed targets include those for congestion, air quality, and introducing concessionary bus fares, but road safety and rail punctuality aims had been met.

What are your biggest concerns about transport in the UK? What are your suggestions for improving the system?

Being British first and English second I just find the guy a repugnent impident rabble rouser. Coarse nationalism as given out by the Scottish Nationalists is retrospective and unrealistic in this modern day. They want to cut off from England, just to cosy up to the European Union, work that out? (Apart from the money they'd rake in from Brussels in the process).From our side of the boarder it just shrieks of bitterness. Get over yourself, pillock! By the way I love Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland, they're all our homes too.

What happens if you get cautioned by railway staff in the UK if you havent got a ticket? Do you go to court?

I lost my cash card so couldnt pay for the train. Asked for a penalty fare at Liverpool St and ended up getting cautioned.

Sorry if my English is bad...
I want to travel to London in October for vacation, and I am making some research about flights, but I have noticed that there are several arrival airports to London. I'm a little confused, Heathrow, Luton, Gatwick... are they cities near London or places in London?
Thank you very much for your help and sorry if the question sounds a little foolish
