Football is rubbish.
Wise words. In 28 years my commute has varied from a 3 minute motorbike ride to 80 minutes on two tube lines. The majority (last 20 years) has been under an hour on one tube line, getting a seat at both ends and switching off by reading or listening to music.
We're thinking of moving out of London and while the missus thinks I'll hate a longer commute, little tweaks can make it easier. Like starting/leaving work earlier to get a seat, catching the fast trains or working from home one day a week.
Now all we have to do is decide where the fuck to live, that's an hour north of Charing Cross.
Behave.
... even though the benefits cost to this country is well below others, and well within tolerance.
Not every kid is fortunate enough to live 2minutes from their school.
For a short time I'm stuck commuting to uni ... and go through London Bridge where they f***ing no longer stop with the connecting train... adding a half hour each way to my journey.
The train goes THOUGH London Bridge, passing along a platform that it could stop at... but for some reason relating to the improvement work the train wont stop moving there until Jan 2018.
It's so possible to stop there that there's a sign for the driver saying "Do not release doors" and signs for the passengers "Do not alight here, platform not in use".
It makes no sense and has added hours to my week. I can't see how people do commuting of any real distance for any length of time it's so boring!
Not sure I could hack long commutes either by car or Public transport.
I usually go to the office once a week; if I want to go early it takes about an hour, if I aim for about tennish it takes forty minutes.
Otherwise my journeys are to meet customers, not just to sit in front of a different computer in a less comfortable chair.

I'd do 15 or 20, but I wouldn't want to do much more.
I did Brighton to Sheffield for a few months.... Not every day obviously
This year I've hardly done any cycling and have driven in more. It usually take about twenty to forty five minutes to drive in.
I'm not a big advocate of public transport. Especially here in the south west, it's far to expensive and badly run.
I would rather walk or cycle. i did all of that cycling last year for a few reasons but the main one was to make sure i didn't become too reliant on the car.
My old car broke down last February and I would have had to take about three buses to get into work. So rather than spend a fortune on bus fares. I pushed myself to get on the bike. Once you get into the swing of doing it, it becomes routine. I would avoid rush hours and arrive feeling positive.
My sister used to walk ten miles a day to work. Again because the buses would take forever and she would spend a fortune on fares.
When we had snow a few years ago, she walked into work and one of her co-workers had rang up and said she couldn't make it in....... This lady lived two minutes away.
My sister's boss said "well funny you say that. Grace has just walked in from the other side of Bristol. She set off at six am"
