That really just depends on the scale they are personally used to though, for a fair few years I lived ~5 hours from my family (relatively far within the country), but it didn’t feel like very much because I/we visited my partner’s family on the other side of the continent at least once a year. Prior to that, I don’t think that I would have visited anywhere near as frequently.

The lack of Schengen and now EU membership may make British people more prone to being on the smaller side of this.

The Stanford Review is evidence enough that at least Thiel was already an utter piece of shit before this.
