Hey Jon--

	We have a number of customers in the UK that are happily using
Engine Yard to host their sites. I don''t think the lag is as bad
these days as you might think. Also eventually we will have a data
center in Europe. And we already have a reseller in Germany. Anyway
please contact me offlist if you would like to talk some more and I
could set you up with a test account so you could see for yourself if
the  transatlantic lag is too much for you.
