Do RM allow people to transfer these days other than for 'life and death' reasons? I want to go to an MC but hell will freeze before they'll allow me to do that

TBH with loads of MCs closing there is little chance to transfer into one as RM will be pushed to find positions for everyone already working in them. :sad:

When the alarms not gone off I've jogged it in less than 3 minutes(all downhill),but usually a 5 minute stroll.

I would hate to stay that close to work.
15 mins in the car is close enough for me..or just under an hour to walk. :nervous
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Forty five minutes to an hour depending on when the bus turns up. Had to walk it in the snow this week, apparently it's five-point-one miles (according to Google Maps), but it only took me an hour and a quarter so I'm not sure that that figure is correct. Fifteen minutes a mile? In inclement weather? I don't know.

15 minute cycle ride or 50 minute walk. Sometimes I run in and that takes about 20 mins.
