They all do.

The fact that long distance commuters consider the alternatives
unpalatable does not negate the fact that they made a choice not
to move closer to work, get a job closer to home or work in the

A load of ******** - I drive 30 miles each way to get to my job


I don't think you're the guy in the firing line. 30 miles is not
excessive, it's the 70-100 (and more) mile commuters that
ought to be re-evaluating their position.

- I don't

my job because of house prices. I start at 7.00am and finish at 5.00pm -
no chance of using PT. Thank ****.
