It would seem so. I found out about ten months ago that I was going to be posted down to Bordon in Hampshire. bugshaw and I lived nearby in Alton for six months in 1997, the last time I worked here, and she didn't fancy coming back - it's miles from (a) her current job, (b) any good site for future jobs, and (c) most of our friends. As such we decided that as the opportunity had finally arisen for us to buy a house we would do so somewhere that didn't have these problems, and that turned out to be Cambridge. I know work and live in Hampshire during the week and commute back home at weekends; the intention is that my next posting will be within daily travelling distance of home.

I hope that's clearer now!
