"Close" is a relative term. Is it closer to London a little Scottish town, far from any airport or major communications hub, than Paris or Barcelona? http://j

- pjc50 10y agoI think you're missing a word .. but yes, parts of the highlands and islands are definitely further away in time from London than Paris is. I think even Manchester may take longer, at least until HS2 is operational. (The first link isn't very encouraging! "As a consequence I had to visit my dear friend the physiotherapist to check my displaced vertebrae and super swollen trapezius muscles that didn’t let me get off my bed after travelling nonstop for 6 months"!)
- londonite 10y agolol yeah! I would never commute from Barcelona like this guy, but just puts into perspective how fast can you be very far. I once had to visit a customer a Friday and a Monday (so there was no big point on staying the whole weekend in a hotel), having to drive each day 5 hours each direction. That was without leaving the UK. Apparently this guy makes it quicker from Barcelona to Bracknell (not even London, which would take less time IMHO).
