How far

edited April 2008 in Not Sports Related
Do people have to travel to get to their place of work. I mean to the starting point not throughout the day just to like the office or the yard?

Me 30 miles to the yard. Leave at about 6.20-35 get home at a pretty similar time in the evening (I'm not whingeing by the way!).

And also dog owners, how long do your dogs get left alone for on average whilst the house/family are out?

    Currently, about 2 miles, 10-15 minute drive depending on the route I take, live near Bluewater, work in Dartford centre, leave home just after 7am to drop er indoors at station, start at 8am, keyholder so I get to let myself in for a coffee and catch up on emails/internet/CL before I start.
  • 30 miles (Approx) by coach from Medway to Canary Wharf I get on the coach at 7am and am normally at my desk at 8am depending on whether the Blackwall Tunnel is behaving!!!

    Get home roughly 6:45 / 7pm of a night. I have a cat so he's happy to sleep all day.

    :o)
  • 25 miles from Redhill to Egham round the good old M25 - can take anywhere from 35 minutes to an hour and 35 minutes - Fridays are the best, was in work at 7.45am.

    Getting home is usually good, leave work at 5pm and usually home for 6pm.

    I have no pets, it's a struggle looking after myself nevermind an animal :-)

  • Abbey Wood to St James Park

  • 2 buses,rail and tube. leave home at 06.45 get in at 8am. On the edge ofthe known World.

    Leave at 16.30 home by 17.30 in Gods country.
  • Live in a pretty little village called Millbrook, nearly by the sea.
    We'm as happy as a pigs in muck, living the Millbrook way.
    Up with the sun when the Giro's come,
    And pissed for the rest of the day!

    Ah, life in idyllic Cornwall........

    When I worked in Plymouth city centre my commute was a doddle, cycle 3 miles alomgside the creek and catch the pedestrian Cremyll Ferry to Plymouth, then 20 mins walk to City Centre.

    But I work near Ivybridge and after queuing for the Torpoint Ferry and right the way across rush hour Plymouth, can easily take an hour and a half each way. Leave 7 30 in the morning and get back about 6 45 at night.

    3 hours of the day wasted travelling & that's the bit of the job that truly knackers you.

    My sweet boy child is 20 now, although he still lives with me, sorts himself out.
    The cat, Psycho, fends for himself during the day and pounces on me when I get home.

    Take the dog every morning about 5.30 - 5.45 for an hour, he like a sniff around fanny in morning.
    Don't start work till 9, usually in about 7.30. Leave at 5 if I can.

  • Routine varies depending on where I am.

    If I'm in the Office (at least to start) then I take my youngest daughter to school for 8:30 - 8:45 (depending on if she gets up!!) pop home, quick coffee with the wife as she will then be up and leave the house 9:30 ish ( Near Gillingham, Kent) arriving at the Office in Bickley near Bromley 10:30ish dependent on traffic. We are always very busy so often I might not leave in the evening until 9:00 or after but of late have tried to leave about 7:30. I'm trying to improve my work life balance or whatever it's called! Don't think the boss is impressed though!

    School Holidays varies depending on what they are doing. Sister in law is staying so I arrived at the Office today for instance just after 9. I hope to leave about 6 this evening but who knows!
