Youd need a much longer graph though.

Umm, where's the option for English but live in Ireland, Commute to London ?
Would that be East/West instead of North/South ?
Best gig I ever had was 18 months in the south of Spain working at two locations, one in Gibraltar and one in Marbella, living in digs halfway between and not in touristville.

I live North (Yorkshire) and am currently working 300 ish miles South so not entirely commutable .
For most of my years as a contractor I refused to work outside a commutable distance, or had field role with a home base.
I got lucky on a 1 monther that ended up at 3 years which had 3 sites under a mile from home when my kids were small.

I live in the East Midlands and currently gig in East Anglia. Does a difference of about -0.46° latitude count as travelling from "The North" to "The South"?
