Gold and GBP are both things that measure value, so comparison is like for like.
In your example you use unrelated items and also use typical statistical trick to start axis at higher value in order to show more dramatic change.Comment

Why is gold valuable?Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Land has the same characteristics as do rare cars, paintings etc.
Think of two people 200 years ago.
One has a ten pound note and the other a bar of gold or 10 acres of land or a Monet.
Which one now is the wealthiest?Comment
