stanski Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 slow journey then Stan? Aye viks - this is just the beginning - I get 3 months of this cr** from now on soon as the clocks go back and then it Panto season in Mank and people suddenly forget how to drive in the dark and god help us when it rains! My best time was 6 hours to travel 65 miles! I love it ......not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 i feel for you mate, i swapped jobs about 18 months ago to avoid crap like that. used to do 500 miles a week traveling from ipswich to chelmsford. about 50 miles each way. had several sessions where the trip took me up to 4 hours. the A12 is a muppet road where people like to crash as rush hour for fun. i even got rear ended in a car smash on the a12 where i stopped and 6 other cars decided to inspect the inside of my boot. that was the last straw for me.

rtbiscuit Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 i was lucky, my new school happens to be 4 miles away. my daily commute is 8 miles instead of 100 miles. it takes 10 minutes, i get a lie in, and i no longer mind staying late as i live round the corner i had several other interviews around the county, but it was luck that landed me this one. and it happens to be one of the top schools in the county and also in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Sack that! I drive 16 miles each way to the office and it takes me less than 20 mins in the landie at any time of day. Unless I get stuck behind a tractor! 9 mins if I take my motorbike My workmate goes 55 miles each way it takes him less than an hour! These congested Aberdeenshire roads are hell!

Well spotted Louis Allessandro I have 29miles left before the fumes run out (got me to work though) Those frugal 313 engines are the dogs ! Stew I really dont know how you can handle that kind of traffic up there - makes mine look like nothing really! Some nice red skies this morning - if I only had my camera fitted to the car for some arty pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
