How many hours do you work a week including commute?

I'm interested to know how "location and total hours" stacks up around the country?
What do you do and how many hours a week do you spend doing it, including travel?
Me:
I work in the city and have a 3 hour round commute. So it's 50 hours a week for me (although I'm fortunate enough to be trialling a 4 day week at the moment)...

Around 70 if you include the 4 hours commuting a day. But I'm not sure including commuting gives a useful figure.0

I commute 3 hours a day round trip to. And do a 36hour week in office.
So all together 51 hours a week!

None now, but when I finished work it was around 65 hours, around 10 hours commute.Yes I'm bugslet, I lost my original log in details and old e-mail address.0

wow.. I cant imagine commuting that amount of time.
I work 35 hrs a week and live 15 mins drive away from work, occasionally walk if I don't have school run to do and that takes 45 mins.
So including driving commute 37.5 hrs.
Live in the north in a town not a city.0 -
10 hours a day with commute - so 50 a week. 7.5 hours actual work a day (so 37.5 a week), plus an unpaid hour for lunch that we have to take in full each day. Commute is around 45 mins each way (but only 5 miles in distance - gotta love traffic).0

Around 10hrs a day 5 days a week. So 50. But I might do some work on a weekend.Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....0

Can be a strange job but it’s what you make it.
I am really lucky, when I think where I was this time 2 years ago.0 -
Before I retired I did a 50 hour week plus around 3 hours a day round trip. I did get to work from home twice a month or so.0
