One of my husband's co-workers is about to be shipped over here from America. Keith (the hubby) and I were talking about this in Messenger yesterday, as he's currently in California at a business conference. No, by the way, he's not the American - I am. He spends more time in America than I do though.

Anyway, we were thinking the co-worker is probably going to want to commute to Richmond, once she sees housing prices there. It's the Richmond near London, not the other one. Transport between here, Hastings, and the London area is not terrific, unfortunately.

I suppose Manchester is too far to send her to live if she's going to work in Richmond. Too bad though. I could ask you give her an intro to England for us - including what my husband did to me when I first got here - giving lots of incorrect (but funny) pronunciations. Skyzors indeed. (scissors)

Yep, Manchester to London on a daily basis would be a heck of a commute - though it's not as far away as people think - just over 2 hours on the express train to Euston station. Richmond (london) is sooo lovely though, she'll enjoy it if she likes shopping!
