    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.

      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.

        How about an 'Im from India over here on an ICT' button??
        Youd need a much longer graph though.

              Live in Winchester, commute to London. For the last two years have been staying up in town midweek but reverted to commuting so I can remember what the missus looks like.
