North-south divide no-one expected

A new study has revealed that people living in Manchester are spending more of their monthly salary on bills than anywhere else in the UK.

Mancunians are typically spending nearly 80 per cent of their income after tax on things like food, rent, bills and travel costs - compared to just 66 per cent for those living in London.

The latest data comes from Money Supermarket, who have calculated how much the average person in the UK spends on their household bills each day.

Despite London often being quoted as the most expensive city, people living in the capital are now actually spending less of their monthly income on the cost of living compared to those living in Manchester.
