Buxton to London by train is 3 hours. While to major cities here you need to fly, and it takes 3 hours almost.
Driving's probably the quickest way if you get a quiet time and break the speed limit (away from the cameras of course) like I do. But still there's the financial issue side of it and jobs etc... though there are generally more jobs there. I'm certainly not intending to stay in Buxton for long though and will be looking to move next year.

Just recently found out my sisters best friend from when we were kids is Finnish. Her family moved over from Helsinki.

She had an enormous forehead and was really tall, skinny blonde. She looked like an albino pepperami.

I don't know why I'm saying this BTW.

That's quite common. Many educated people moved to Britain, Germany and the Netherlands in the early 90's as we were in a worse depression than the wall street crash. For example Carl Jenkinson, who plays for the Arsenal, his mother is Finnish and did move as well.

But many returned as well.

Enormous forehead like this?

We don't have English candy here as we are in Europe so I don't know what a pepperami is. Wise up.

I used to work with an older Finnish guy, whom everyone called "Finn"- I never knew his real name.

My sister's ex-bf was Australian-Finnish from Sydney. Didn't speak a word of Finnish. When I did my conscription there were people from all around the globe. Americans, Canadians, Australians, Brazilians, Namibians, Germans, you name it. Everyone who held Finnish nationality were called up for service, stopped calling expats only some five years back. We had a Israeli-Finnish guy in my company who had to decide between 3 years in the Israeli army and possible war-zone deployment or the Finnish army for 6 months. Wasn't a difficult decision for him.

The world is inevitably a small place.
