    How long does it take you to get to work?

    There seems a lot of anger on the board, so thought I'd suggest a nice trite poll, related to contracting, that we can all participate in peacefully!

        I commute by bicycle and it depends on which client I off to, which way the wind is blowing, and if I get a puncture or not, but generally just over the 1 hour mark.

              Just over an hour - 4.5 miles walk. I pity the forlorn souls I see on the way, peering out of the bus windows, crammed in like sardines.

                90-120 minutes, but that's over 100 miles. Do I win on average speed?
                Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                  An hour to drive 47 miles. It's shi* but marginally better than the Northern Line. My best commute was a 10 minute ferry ride on Sydney Harbour with a 5 min walk at the other end.
