In London, getting from northeast to southeast is merely slightly

The Faroes also has far less underground infrastructure to work around,
and better geology for tunnelling.

Theres no way they could have afforded it though. I doubt their economy could
stretch to buying more than a few JCBs. They're a prime example of some
**** pot island wanting autonomy with all the raa raa and flag waving that
goes with it - until they need large wads of cash then suddenly the palms
are outstretched to the former rulers without a hint of humility.

Sounds just like Scotland, except that Scotland isn't an island.
