But seriously, it pretty much is. I never appreciated just how tiny Britain is until my first visit there. I was bouncing around Glasgow doing god knows what (probably drinking), and my friends were like, "Let's go to this place in Edinburgh!" I was all cranky. "I'm not going halfway across the country at 9 at night!"
Yeah. It was like an hour away.
