    Ive driven maximum of 90 miles(also driven lesser miles) there and back which took me 90 minutes and i did that every morning and every evening but they should have put me up in a hotel like they did with the other staff. I got petrol money which made it even better. I dont mind driving really. Currently i drive about 20 miles in total

    About 14 miles each way, takes about 40 minutes each way.

  • 3ish miles, takes 20-25 mins.

    TIme I think is more important. I would prefer a 30m trip that takes 50 mins than a 10m trip that takes the same time.
  • 64 miles each way. So consider yourself lucky :beer:

    Is that Walking? because if it isn't, would walking be easier?

    Just over a mile. Mind you, I moved specifically so I'd be within walking distance of my office. I don't drive, so that's quite important to me.
  • About half a mile to the closest place I work and the furthest is probably 3 miles.

    Used to be 0.5mile each way before the office closed which was bliss as I could walk home at lunchtime, then it was 10mile each then that office closed.

    Now it's around its around 60mile each way
