I 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.

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).
