Just a general question on how far you have to travel to get to work, I travel around 8 miles but I so on here someone traveling 40 miles to get to work and wonder how they can afford it with the price of petrol/diesel.

There seems to be a few people travelling over 5 miles to get to work, wonder if they work at the do in there home town, or travel to another do in a different town as I do.

how much does that cost you a week, thats 400 miles commuting which in my car would cost around £50.00.

Yeah i do. I always lived in my delivery town until a few years ago and "oh boy" when we went on strike

It was really bad in the 88/89 strikes with people knocking on my door in the evening asking me how they were going to get there mail etc. Also late missing packets with friends can be a problem if you work in the local delivery office. Now i just say "sorry dont work there" job done

1.5 miles to the office on the company bike - 150 yards to my front door when I finish my walk - it's adjacent to the one I live on and all the guys on walks around it are pro's so I get no hassle. If I have to pouch off packets at a TSO it's only 500 yards away so I put up with having a heavy oversize walk for the other (to my mind) greater conveniences.
