I live in the unincorporated village of Glengary (whose founders were descended from Scots-Irish, as I am) a small hamlet of less than 500 people, in farm country of the Back Creek Valley, over Great North Mountain about 10 km west of the small town of Gerrardstown, population has less than 5,000 which is in turn 10 km west of the I81 motorway, and the nearby town of Inwood, which is about 10,000. 20 km north on the I81 is Martinsburg, the seat of Berkeley County, West Virginia. 30 km south on the I81 is Winchester, VA, the seat of Frederick County, VA

Nearby about 5km down the valley from my house is the Peacemaker National Training Center, one of the largest firearms training facilities in the US. http://www.peacemakernational.com

It is about 20 km from an Air Force base which is home to the 167th Airlift Wing of the West Virginia Air National Guard.

US Census info is readily available online, so I thought you might enjoy this snapshot of my county.

that was an interesting 15 min's trying to figure out where you live...roughly....only curious because i grew up in worcester.

Almost two million people within a day's walk of you Sunna. That's certainly worth studying carefully.

If your village is very small, isolated and at the end of a dead end road, maybe the situation isn't as bad as it first appears.

I'd think he's probably more worried about an exodus from the n/western home counties making a beeline for Wales and tramping through his backyard.

oops my arithmetic was horribly wrong....its 400,000 people within a days walk, much less worrisome :-)

Yes 130 miles from London by the M40 could be an issue, assuming that the roads don't gridlock before they get to you?

the M25 will probably be gridlocked before they get anywhere.
