I live about 5 and a half miles from my office so it should take 10 minutes maximum. I drive - company car (which I pay tax on and which doesn't really make up for the shortfall in wages) - and depending on the time of day I can be sat at our village railway crossing for anything from 5 minutes to 20 minutes while the crossing operator decides whether there are any trains coming ... at least I have the radio and a newspaper!

Retired now but it used to be a hour each way which I bitterly regret as I then had 2 kids who I didn't see during that time. The record in the UK was a few years ago from Scarboro to London would you believe via train. My advice to anyone is to keep it as short as humanly possible as it's all wasted time. I only realised that after I'd retired. For a year I did 700 miles (2 x 350) each weekend to go home, staying in digs Mon/Fri. How I regret that.

a) Currently, about an hour
b) Car to the station, train into Edinburgh, walk to work
c) I can do door-to-door in just about an hour; when I lived down south, my commute took about an hour and a half, and I lived about half the distance from work that I do now! What does that say about the traffic congestion down south??!

I drive for about 25-30 minutes from hiome to work
I usually leave between 9 and 9.30 - getting me to work between 9.30 and 10. I work a longer day to compensate for me getting in late.
I need to drive as public transport would be a complete nightmare - it would take meupwards of 1.5 to 2 hours to get to work by public transport.

15 mins if i get a lift from my bf.
otherwise its a bus and metro and door to door it takes about an hour...
the thing is that when im on a late shift (1-9) and i leave the house at 12 the metro is always full of chavs with their screaming kids...
do these people have to allowed in public? cant we lock them all up on a boat and sent it to the south pole?
