But thats working as a plummer driving to different jobs in a work van. Not what you cover driving from home to the work place

About 50 miles a week. Work is 4.5 miles away, If it's not raining I'll usually cycle.

There you go then you commute the same as R32UK.

I would love to have a work van and not worry about putting 30K a year on my own car and pay all the bills associated with doing that milage.

Just under 300 miles a week commuting and then about 150 a week personal miles.

As soon as the other half's through her test I'll be able to work from home, which I'm looking forward to as no longer will have to pay out for the fuel and the money on an office, so should be way better off again

Approximately 450 mileszp a week including using the m25 :(

 :sick:

I always pack the sleeping bag and emergency food ratios cause of that flippin' road!!

One of the jobs that I enjoyed the most I was doing 600-750 miles a week...Hated the driving but loved the job, nothing like a good radio show to keep you going!
