Description
Britain's commuters have the worst deal in all of Europe. We spend longer in our cars and trains than anyone else. But now there's a revolution going on among the workforce as more and more people ...are moving to mainland Europe and still keeping their job in the UK. It's all being made possible thanks to cheap air travel, the growth of flexible working and an increase in communication technology. And the trend is likely to gather pace later this year when the new high speed Chunnel link comes into operation
