Commuting

[magemanda]

You can do what you like, Stewart! After all, you have modlike powers over the rest of us *grin*.

Doesn't bother me which way this thread goes, being as I won't be online for three whole weeks. Not sure what bothers me more *muses*.... an operation? Or not keeping up with my various forums? Internet addiction, much??

Thats from Swafes house to Aldi, where he shops, of course.

Ey? How does that make sense, there are not onen not two, but three Tescos nearer to my house that Aldi, and, well, seing as Aldi is your 'local' I suggest you stop the Aldi chit chatter and go back to eating your 3p beans and 4p Tinned sausages

I walk now. It'd take me 5 minutes by car, and anywhere bewtween 30-45 minutes to walk depending on how fast I go. It would be easier to get in by car BUT it's such a short journey (just over 2 miles) that the Mini is horribly inefficient and eats fuel like nobodies business..... I only drive in on Wednesdays cos I have to go out to St John's to shoot straight after work.

[iMc]

If I had a job I'd be willing to commute 30mins or less by car.

Tigs darling, Amanda, please don't embarrass me by making me the first HEXUS mod ever, who has to dump a thread because of a 3 way domestic.

Go on then.

If people hadn't noticed, I started the thread anyway, I'm not going to offend myself if I trash my own thread.

So lets get back on topic... before someone else patronises me. </rant>

[turkster]

20 min across the city on a bike. Keeps me fit .

[Emzay]

When I start my job next week I shall be driving for 40 minutes (unless it's rush hour then it could be an hour, lol)

[Starburn]

I used to commute a fair distance and once took me from 5pm->8pm to get home (though that wasn't the distance; more the rubbish public transport and traffic).

Now takes me about 15-20mins; bus ride + a short walk
Living so close to the centre makes life much easier, that & not going into work until about half nine, and leaving at about half five to miss some rush hour traffic

[badass]

Currently 1hour 15 mins each way roughly.
Moving to a place 0.9 miles from the office
Worst was when I worked in London. 2 hours each way for 10 months.
I have nothing god whatsoever to say about our publiuc transport system
Asn even less good things to say about greedy idiot London underground drivers.

[Twigman]

Summer job:

20 minute drive then swoop into my nice secure private underground carpark

In my dads car

at uni:
about 5mins walk?

[5lab]

40 min walk, or 10 min bike ride. 3 miles each way, and i never go another way, cos i'm not lazy.

[0iD]

16 miles each way, not too long by car, depends if I take the country route or bomb down the A12.

[Gr44]

about 40-50mins there by car, about 30-40 back

[stytagm]

Used to be 10 mins walk, about 50mins on the tube, Now its on my bike and about 40 mins blat there, and an hours slog back (The hill up from Archway to Highgate on the A1 ), but because I have to get changed and apply shower-in-a-can It still takes me an hour from my front door to my desk.

The best bit is that even if I got my bike nicked, I could buy a new one each month with the money I save by not buying travelcard
The worst bit was getting a puncture on Euston Road in the pouring rain

[neillybob]

Brisk 15min walk each way for me.

It's about the only excersise I get now I work in the office instead of chasing a bin lorry every day

[MD]

12 minute drive, each way, helps i set off about quarter to 8 in the morning and leave the office at 4:30

And its 12 minutes on the dot, I know this as I have driven the same route to work for the last 4 years
