Facts like this don't seem to matter to the person called "Huge" (?),

Hugh knows me fairly well. I see his response as the joke it is. Hope
the OP gets the joke, poor chap. Hope he gets to work OK too...

Oh, he will. Eventually.

Once he's paid a small fortune to get cold, wet and let down for a
few weeks, he'll buy a car, which is the sensible way to make
this journey.

Yep. This journey looks to me like one of those that would only take around
30-40 minutes by car, but could take an age on PT.
