If you could work anywhere...

Mods can you change the subject of this thread to "If you could work anywhere in SW England..."

... within a few miles of Lands End.

God, it's remote down there. Even if you live in North Devon, it's a good two hour drive to get to Newquay or Truro.

Essex cos you can live near the sea, in the country side, in a crap town, in a less crap town, get to an airport quickly, dye yourself orange and everyone will think it's normal....

Mmmmmm Not a high bar you set there - A town less crap than Braintree, Clacton, Southend, Chelmsford or Basildon.... I think Saffron Walden just about qualifies.

Very true. Durham<->Penzance is a 9 hour direct train (I used it as a student). From Durham you get to Bristol after something like 5 hours and it seems you're nearly there, but oh no there's 4 hours left. Then you get to Exeter and get a it excited but nope, still 2 hours. Even once you cross the sodding Tamar and are IN Cornwall it's something like 90 minutes to go... and that's where they close the buffet.

Even London is 5-6 hours by train. Take it from me... take the sleeper train if you are anywhere near the main line!

Thinking of doing one of these work from home jobbies where "home" could be anywhere in the world.

Depends on your skill set, but for many projects where home work is viable it is equally so for people in Bangalore who can work for 10 rupees a day or something.

Yeah but working on site they can find those guys for £100/day. You just have to sell yourself, or find a client who understands the value you provide.
