lol 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).

"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?
