    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.

    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? ;)
