Would you relocate for your job? | Open thread

David Dimbleby is disgruntled about the decision to move Question Time to Scotland and is staying put in London

The BBC's plans to move more of its staff and programmes out of London have hit another hitch in the magisterial form of Question Time's David Dimbleby. While the rest of the current affairs show's production team will be starting a new life in Glasgow, the 72-year-old presenter will be staying put in the English capital ? meaning an editor will be flying down to brief him every week.

But does Dimbleby have a point? He's not the only BBC employee disgruntled at having to move. Is it reasonable to expect staff to relocate for a job ? and if so, how far? Is the Question Time host just being a prima donna who should get on his bike, or is he being realistic about the needs of the job?

Have you uprooted everything for work? Or if your firm upped sticks, would you stay in your job and move with it, or resist for the sake of heart and home?
