Half A World Away


As I pondered HERE, the crisps from HERRS of Pennsylvania took longer to travel the 77 miles from Stansted airport to King’s Lynn than they did from Pennsylvania to Stansted - about 3,600 miles?

The journey from Pennsylvania to Stansted actually took 25 hours, 47 minutes.


Thereafter:

Stansted to East Midlands Airport (huh? Wrong direction!)
124 miles
3 days, 3 hours, 25 minutes

East Midlands Airport to Tamworth (!!!)
28 miles
40 minutes

Tamworth to Norwich
162 miles
4 hours, 10 minutes

Norwich to King’s Lynn
44 miles
5 hours, 17 minutes

Total from Stansted Airport to King’s Lynn
Which is a road distance of 77 miles…..
3 days, 13 hours, 32 minutes


Blimey!
