Forty miles each way, so an hour in the (v early) morning, and anyone can guess in the evenings. The evening fluctuates depending on the M1, Hanger Lane (:eek:) and just about every road in London locally. Sometimes they can be empty, the next day they're gridlocked.
I tried public transport, but the combination of bus + tube + mainline train, then another bus or taxi at the other end made it impossible sadly.
It takes ten minutes for me to walk to my work. Occasionally, I get the bus, if it's lashing rain. That takes twenty minutes, what with the looooony one way system.
I like the walk and pretty often in the summer, I take a detour and walk home along the beach and have a paddle, if the tide's out. If the tide's in, I cut my losses and have an ice cream, instead.
I spent years working as a sales rep, so I'd be in the car for hours and hours and sodding hours at a stretch. Give me a paddle and an ice cream any day.
I cycle 8 miles to work, half an hour to get there, cos it's downhill, forty minutes to get home though, uphill all the way. I'm as fit as a flea though, and I'm saving £70 a month on busfares.
Why walk, if you can afford to drive? Sod walking 30 mins each way, in our crappy weather. I'm lucky as I am only 4/5 mins walk from work, but if I were 2/3 miles, I'd drive most of the time.
I work about 80 miles away from my house, so depending on traffic it's about two hours. Luckily I live within two miles of the motorway junction, and work is a straight run up the motorway.

Because it's 2 miles away.

That's about 5 mins in the car.
I walk 3 miles, so 2 would be a doddle.

I could do it in under an hour on my bike before the bloody farmer blocked the path off. :mad:
Good for you, I'll take the car any day.
