Nope, missed me completely
My parents live roughly between Luton & Northampton, but off by many miles as we Brits judge distance (anything over 10 miles away requires an overnight stay)

Funny you would say that. When our friends come over from the UK they can't believe how long we drive to do things for a day. 2 or 3 hours one way for a rugby match, and they are like "WTF? We staying over night?". "Ummm no."

It does tend to be the older generation - my parents wouldn't drive to & from Leicester in one day (3 hour round trip) but HM came from Wales, to Leicester and back to London after working a 12 hour day... and thanks to floods that ended up as an 8 hour drive

But yes, our dinky little island spoils us with its close-packed riches
