    Now that is a nasty commute. 1h 30 according to google maps. Probably a fair bit longer with traffic. High Wycombe is only 30 minutes according to Google Maps, but it took me 1h 30 when I went for the interview. Oh well, lets hope that was just a very bad traffic day.

    Yeah. I think it all started because he was supposed to get a relocation allowance, but his boss refused to pay for TV aerial installation and some curtains IIRC. So he said "Sod it" and refused to move. Instead, his company car was replaced every 18 months because it hit the company mileage limit of 75,000 ...

      My soon-to-be-daughter-in-law does that commute daily - takes her about 40 minutes I believe - but a lot depends on whether you need to negotiate the bridge (she doesn't)

        In 2020 I will be leaving the computer vision industry... and joining the coffee making industry. Been in the old job for 15 years - overly time for a change, methinks. It might be an interesting commute though - Aylesbury to High Wycombe. Oh well, see how it goes - the job certainly looks worth it.

        So, if your job is making coffee, will you have to take computer breaks?

              He only mentioned the new industry, not the job, maybe he's working in the software department? Or, better yet, in QA? :-D

                  I used to travel through High Wycombe, many years ago, between Hemel Hempstead and Wallingford, and that roundabout over the M40 could get very badly snarled at times. My worst commute was Bournemouth to Esher every day; I stuck it for three and a half years, doing 1000 miles a week. :omg:

                    The coffee will help with the drive, though, right? ;)
