The previous question was "Are you suggesting that there are open fields
within that area?" ("that area" being a one-hour commute from Charing
Cross). There are plenty of open fields in "that area", and my response
about being able to travel 60 miles in an hour in "that area" would reflect
that even literally, but in any case, the PP's question was not about
agriculture but was about whether you can get outside the inner London
built-up area within an hour, and you can.

Well in that case I owe Robin (and others) an apology: Sorry, I assumed
JNugent's statement was sensible and inconsistent. It appears I was
wrong on both counts.

(Except possibly if he's referring to commuting in the small hours and
is prepared to risk getting gatsoed).
