Ouch. And I thought my 3hr/150mile commute was bad.

Why would probably be cheaper to move or is this just a temporary thing

Did you just say "drive"? You did didn't you?? You DRIVE 340 miles to work??
Do you stay overnight during the week? Or do you actually do a DAILY COMMUTE of 680 miles?? If it's the latter, are you TOTALLY INSANE???

Jeez, I thought my 100 mile per day commute was bad enough But it's a walk in the park compared to that! LMAO

Pete

p.s. I could "perhaps" understand it if you RODE 340 miles (ya know ... for the love of the ride n all that Hahaha)

Got to agree with Pedro68, that is nuts. I'd definitely be staying the night nearer work during the week if it was me

Default Re: the longest commute

I spent 9 months commuting from Preston to Rugby, doing 10 hour days in Rugby. I used to leave home about 5am, get down there in time for breaky in Tesco at 7:30, leave the office about 6pm, get home 8:30 ish, take away, telly, shower bed and up again at 4:30.

Why did I get back on two wheels, I ended up in hospital, I was vomiting blood, they took my blood pressure and was admitted. Work was killing me.

So I went back to work 9 months after that. It was still there, I was not as indispensable as I thought. Now I do the commute perhaps 1 or 2 days a week.

There is nothing clever about a long commute. It is extra hours and stress that you don't need. Sorry been there, done, that, bought the t shirt and I don't want another
