Oct 2009, Buddenbrooks remarked:

8 hours driving followed by a 4 hour meeting is a very expensive meeting.

ObRail: I'm currently suffering a lot from 1.5hr meetings (the minimum
practical, really) sandwiched between 3hrs each way getting to London
and back

Last Friday, for example: left home at 11am and got back at 6.30pm.
Hence my frustration when the train company can't even be bothered to
staff the buffet for my journey home.

And before you chip in saying this is a lifestyle choice - those choices
are made for us sometimes.
