    I really pity the people who commute from lands end and the north west. They must get up before they go to bed.

    Train and airline staff.

    According to the census, there are people who live in Tralee an commute to Dublin. I checked with the CSO and there explanation was there may be people who spend most of the week in Tralee, but then spend a few days in Dublin for work.

    I know someone who does that. Works from home, but 3 days a month in Dublin. They fly up on a morning, stay in a hotel for 2 nights then fly back in 3rd evening. Cheaper than bus/train!

    The 5 areas in the North East are all on the train line. Newcastle, Durham, Darlington, Leeds and York to the right. It's 3 hours from Newcastle to London Kings Cross and only* 2 hours from Leeds.

    *people commute 2 hours from the south of London but they don't travel as far in that time. Fewer would travel the same time from the north.

    My Mrs probably fit into that. Lived in Newcastle and based in London bit actually travelled down on monday morning and back home Tuesday evening. The rest of the week she worked from home.

    Until they changed the law on what constituted residency for tax purposes, some people's commute involved flying into and out of London from abroad.

    It's unusual to have a world map that contains New Zealand but doesn't have Brazil!

    Like Fun with Flags?
    Enjoy a good map?

    Seterra.
    Still a great app for PC and Linux but for quite a while there's been an app for Android which has improved over the last while, and shows you (well me at least) how little you know about Maps and not as good with flags as I thought I was.
    Quite addictive when you get going.

    Time broke down 196 nation flags by color and found that 14.3 percent of flags include red, and 17.7 percent include white.
    It also found yellow in a nation’s flag shows up across five continents, which is why there’s a brown color in the center.

    Is it by monorail? Sorry, that's more of a North Haverbrook idea.

    What might have been - Dunwich once rivalled London as England's largest town.

    Certainly, I suspect the Russian data has been manipulated.
