Re: Family Spending Report: 10 ways people spent their money last year
From the original BBC link
Quote:
But there are more surprising ways people spent their money.
1. More was spent on gambling in the average British household each week than going to the cinema, concerts, theme parks, museums and the theatre combined. On average £3.20 was spent on gambling each week compared with the £2.60 spent on all of the others. This is an increase of 50p on 2011.
2. People in the North East of England actually made money from gambling in 2012. Households "won" an average £4 a week with an outlay of just £3.50. Every single other part of the UK lost money on gambling and the North East's result is most easily explainable by a small group of very large winners skewing results.Northern Ireland lost the most money gambling, with households forking out £4.10 a week but winning just £1.50 on average. In the report, gambling included betting at bookmakers, the lotteries, the football pools and bingo.......
And eight other interesting facts
