    Good to be in that position of not being bothered about the next gig mind. My warchest is OK these days but I'd rather not go 3 months without a gig - would make a BIG dent.
    well i have warchest for like 5 years or more if going into credit. so i didnt take it because i couldnt afford mortgage but to build capital and retire @40 max

        Anything below 1.30 hours for me. Been based south Birmingham I leave before the rush hour of Brum and have the M42, M6, M5 within easy access as I'm heading away from the city the Motorways are usually clear, so I can relax with cruise control on.

          As you are aware there is no such award.

          However if there is Best Looking Poster of the Year, put me down for it.

            I need to add my commute also has to involve driving away from or at least adjacent to the Sun as well.
            I really can't be having head on low Sun early spring & autumn blinding me every morning and afternoon especially if I have a sore head from the previous night.

            Am I being a bit too picky now?
            So now I am worried, am I being deceived, just how much sugar is really in a spoon full!

              The sun used to rise & set five times when I worked in Bryn Mawr*.

              When I worked in Cwmbran and Bristol it just used to rise & stay blinding all the way*.

              *on the 3 days a year it wasn't raining, hailing, sleeting or snowing, not to mention the murrain of beasts days.
              Worked in Ebbw Vale many, many years ago. On the side of the valley above the steelworks. I used to have to put pretty much neat anti-freeze in or the car would freeze solid in winter in the car park.
