UK, a land of then and now.

by nvg - last update: Apr 8, 2001

It may sound strange at first but the UK has a lot of things unchanged parts sins the start of the 2000 century. Well its understandable sins the UK had heavy losses in WWI and in WWII they put in a lot of effort but didn't get the help that the rest of Europe did. There for a lot of things in the landscape didn't chance much. Now in the last 20 years the UK is making up for it and got a lot better. One of the reasons was that labor and ground were cheep. Now that they are outside the Euro, same big companies warned the government that they should step in the Euro or they will goo abroad. These are large internationals who will make less when the UK is not in the Euro. I hope for them that that won't happen or they will again be in a recess and no on will be better with that.

Dou to this history, a lot of the old countryside is intact and very idyllic. Still it is visible if an aria had same riches or not. Like in Dartmoor aria all stopped when the last tin mines closed around 1900 while in South Downs all went reasonably well. It is there thet this privet mention is to be found. (seen from the South Down)
