    During my years working it was between 37 hours with almost zero commute up to 77 hours inc 23 hours commute (that was usually followed by 51 hours inc 15 hours commute but there were occasions with some spells of 14 days in a row so 154 hours inc 46 hours commute per fortnight, it was great for the pension and overtime but too long otherwise).

    I work around 46 hours each week with a commute of 7 minutes each way by bicycle. I would hate to do hours per day of commuting in a car especially if any traffic was involved.

    About 2.5 hours of driving to commute per day; sometimes an hour or so more depending upon traffic. Usually 40 hours worked so on average I'd say 52.5 hours per week all in.

    Normally around 38 but this can go up if I work an extra day or 2.


    Hoping travel time will go down to 1 hour a week from the summer.

    8 to 12 hour days but only a 4 minute drive each way. Amount of hours depends on business. Some weeks as little as 24hrs, last week 56

    And yes I do need to drive, country roads, no lights, no pavements

    I'm a charity shop manager, 37.5 hours per week. Commute is around 10 mins each way so doesn't add on much time at all.
