UK stock market the big picture

Have spent the Xmas/NY lull looking at the UK stock market vs rest of the world....as you do :money:
some quite interesting facts
UK stock market is only seventh largest in the world, just ahead of the Shenzen regional stock market in China and largest stock market in Europe is Euronext, not the FTSE (I always thought London was largest stock market in Europe)
The 4 "FANG's" on the US market are worth more than the entire UK stock market
All ten of the largest FTSE 100 companies are dual listed, ie they're listed on both the UK and a foreign stock market
The median stock in the FTSE 100 lags behind the index
25% of FTSE 100 dividends come from just 3 companies - HSBC, Shell and Rio Tinto
