Fat chance.  I expect to be gone by then.  If I am still with the BBC when
they move, it'll either be:
  temporarily cos I haven't yet found a better employer, or
  having been bribed :-)

My bribe of choice is that I work a four day week, with the same salary and
holiday entitlement.  For that, I'd put up with the two hour commute.  Or
maybe working six hours a day instead of eight.  Or them giving me an
obscene pay rise.

Well, one of those would make me at least consider the rest of their offer.

But no, no plans to move out of London.  I did look at moving to Oxford,
but property prices are too high.

Hehe, no, to a whisk(e)y dealer in St James's (that's the poshest of the
posh bits of London).  The devils are right next to my favourite source
of fine cigars, and a couple of months ago I wandered in, but didn't see
any Scotch to tempt me.  However, they did have some Bourbons I'd never
seen before.  So I thought "*some* boubon is bound to be drinkable, even
if all I've had so far is barely good enough to clean drains with" and
tried a couple.  I walked out with UKP75 less in my pocket, and had also
signed up for this tutored session.  I expect it will be a very expensive
evening :-)
