Why you should never apply for a job without knowing the exact location

    This is exactly why we have immigrants taking "our jobs", they'll risk life and limb latching onto bottoms of lorries to get into britain. Many even die over a long land journey from afghanistan all the way to the UK. The crusaders managed barely half of that journey.

    All for what? for a chance to work, any job will do.

    And you have Britons who can't be bothered to cycle an hour to work. If this is a public sector job, it has to be close to public transport for community members to have access, so I doubt it's that far away from public transport.

    On my first job I traveller 1h45m one way, I carred a heavy folding bike on my shoulders into the underground, and then when I got out, I unfolded the bike and cycled for half an hour to get to my place of work.

    If you want to work you will find a way, you're being lazy. Even a decent runner will cost you only £1500. It's a small sacrifice, many students go through university, who will now be paying 9 grand a year, plus student loan to get a decent education. Buy a car to get to and from work is a tiny sacrifice.

    You clearly haven't read the post.....
