Have you returned to the office yet ??
How long is your commute.
I do 2 days a week in the office. 70 miles each way.
Today took 2 1/4 hours to get home. |

I changed jobs earlier this year and am now on a permanent home working contract. I have to go into the office occasionally for meetings, which is over 100 miles away, but it makes a nice change. I also have to meet with clients, which is a pain in the arse when it's central London, but I get to take them to nice restaurants and expense it back to work  |

Been WFH since June last year, and been told only need to go back to the office if I want to. Which I don't!
So that's 90 minutes I get back every day, plus £60+ per week saved in petrol costs. Happy days!

I'm back to my pre-pandemic "reasonably adjusted" pattern of 3 days in college, 2 from home. It's 16 miles each way, anything from 40mins to 2hrs +. Depends on the time of day and the state of the NW motorway network...... |

I'm the opposite, was cashing it in at 45p a mile on my long commute, going to miss the extra cash |

I have 40 minutes commute each way. I have an option to wfh still. But I prefer going to office. I feel more productive working in office and hence my work life balance is back to normal too. I read a book during commute. So I don't mind that either. |

I was working from home for several months but this contract involves going into the office. Its only 37 miles (one way) but the M6 can be a nightmare at times. Took me nearly 2.5 hours to get home one night. |

Going to be soon a round trip of 300 miles a week, roughly.
Will be lodging down in Brentford. Working 12 hour days, to cram 40 hours, into 4 and half days.
Will set of on Sunday afternoon and return late Thursday evening. Thinking Seriously though, of using the train. |

Anything from 15 mins to and hour n half depending on buses and traffic. It's only 3 miles away but the bus doesn't show up half the time so I leave an hour early and even then I end up getting a taxi sometimes or I'd be late.

I've gone into work all through pandemic, I changed jobs a couple of months ago and I can walk to and from in half an hour.
So much better, its a pleasure to walk home even after a long night shift. |

That’s tough…. I used to do nottingham to Cambridge, 200 mile round trip, going was fine 88mins , coming home could be 2-3 hours. Did about 100 audio books a year though
Now I tend to work for companies in London or Dubai and just negotiate work from home 90%, my current contract only says 50% but I just refuse to go in ,  |

My walk from my bedroom to my study is quite an ordeal, the traffic around the bathroom can be horrendous some mornings. I have audiobooks though to pass the time  |

My Tuesdays and Thursdays are like that. Occasional traffic jam in the living room though - fucking Tonka trucks  |

Also watch out for the roller skates: they lurk in the most unexpected places (usually accompanied by banana skins) |

I’m near kings lynn and travel to bedford.
People at work joke that I travel across 3 counties to get to work as most of them live within 15 mins |
