Love London for many of the same reasons, despite the decline. But how are you travelling east to London at same time as you are travelling west in your EV?

The profits went to London, Manchester, Brighton etc to keep business taxes low while encouraging foreign investment in England. My family in Glasgow saw few benefits. I have cousins now in their 60s who have never worked! Living on the dole, drinking in the pubs, watching Rangers on TV. The ship building industry on the Clyde collapsed, unemployment soared, and young educated parents (like mine) emigrated to Canada, Oz, NZ. No wonder the SNP took root in the 70s.
