Travel times to work
Hi Guys,
Just wondered how long it takes you to get to work / back home.
Did anyone decide to travel further for a better job offer?

45 mins either way on the motorway or 20mins down the lanes driving sensibly. I use the lanes as I don't tend to see any other cars until I'm about 2 miles from the office.
