so just how far do you lot travel to work, I started off looking for jobs within a 20 odd mile radius but that's not got me anything so far (apart from one job that turned out to be ****!)
so I have started looking at jobs about 50miles from my home to find something! and I have to be picky as its probably going to cost me over a ton a week in fuel going that far :roll:
I ride, three miles each way (unless its raining, then i sulk and take my van)

Work from home but can see me doing 500 miles a day for customer meetings
I do 12 miles each way,but the missus does 100 miles a day,6 days a week.
3.5 miles to the office, but have business use on the car so use it to go to places like Culdrose, Portsmouth etc
[edit] Before I moved it would have been a 100 mile round trip :tard:

0 miles lol
Work is just down the road, then use company van to drive 2 hours to site. Get paid for the drive to site so doesn't really count.

18 mile round trip for me
37 miles each way when I was commuting to uni, and atm anywhere over 50-60 miles on a pretty straight run up the M40 is going to mean renting a place I can cycle from, or spending very little on fuel is cheaper.
15 miles each way unless I need to work from the yard it's 44 miles each way,

26 miles each way, but all motorway so only takes roughly 30mins
When i was on my motorbike i once gauged it and the outcome was 1.1 miles but that was taking a shortcut down a mudtrack which in a car with very little ground clearance is hard to do so now takes me about 1.3 miles, i should really walk but when its the end of the day i just wanna get home as fast as i can especially on a friday.

i can walk there in 5 mins but still drive there in the nova lol+rep for wasting fuel
Used to do 80 miles a day, then dropped to 45 and then another drop to 40miles.
I am a wrongun and quite enjoyed the commute time in the car. Its gonna be a massive shock to not drive much and catch the train in future.
Unless I was on some mental salary I couldn't be 50+ miles per day

Depending on which way I go its either 35 mile or 37 each way. In rush hour M6 traffic or a HGV infested A5.
Saturdays only take about half hour to get in. Weekdays regulary take upto hour an half. Once it took me nearly 4 hours lol
