London's a pretty good place to be a TM1 developer right now. 70k is a perfectly good salary, but it's not going to have too many high flyers dropping their juicy contracts.

In addition to which, remember that we have a fairly global membership. The 54 hits may well be from those who took a look out of curiosity (including myself) but for whom the daily commute might be a bit too onerous even if we were interested.
