You would have to work that out with them. They'd probably pay to relocate you.

I don't know about England, but in the USA, that tends not to be common.

That said, why the hell are you so resistant to even talking about applying? 
Why are you asking me for all the reasons you shouldn't even bother to apply 
to one of the most desirable tech companies around when someone on the 
inside is offering to get your resume to the top of the pile? Do you think 
if you interview they're going to *make* you work there?

You know, this is probably one of the few places where your employer might 
pay you to work in Haskell. :-)

Sure. I live 75 miles from where I work, and until I got that straightened 
out, it was pretty annoying commuting every day. There's still enough people 
here that commute to the next city over that we run 3 vans every day.
