Hi Colin,

Don't worry so much. When I was in London, I had developed application for one firm as a part of my internship (they were surprised and impressed with the speed I did it, using FoxPro). They asked me the same question (but they add another one - "you will so far from us"). I did answer, that they:
- can invite me to England (that is only question about money)
- can find somebody in London (it will be more expansive :)
So, they were satisfied with this answer. A couple weeks ago I did changes in program for them remotely (they did not invite me to London and as usual they did not pay money :)

In conclusion you can say for them - they can invite developer from Russia (probably, they will be surprised and astonished!)

Take care, and good luck!
