about an 85mile round trip if im in the office. Or on days like today, a 10 min drive to the station and then an hour and a bit on the tube into london.

Not usually a bad journey.... unless you forget to change the time on your alarm clock and actually turn up for work an hour later than you should a la Dave & Cola this morning
