I don't complain about it. I suck it up. Unlike the poor little lamb in the OP who quit after 1 term because he was getting home at 6:30.Comment

Sometimes life is tough.
It's barely ten miles, and mostly motorway (M4 & M32) - I reckon you could drive it in twenty minutes, even at the height of the rush hour.
Then after parking in Nutgrove Avenue (adjoining Victoria Park), which is free all day, you could walk to anywhere in Bristol city centre within twenty minutes.
That's what I do after driving in from my lodgings in Bishopsworth.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

I have to drive up to Yeovil Pen Mill and take the cattle truck to BTM, change and take the Gloucester service up to Yate.
And it's pronounced Yah-Tay not YaytayComment

Although I conceded it is sometimes possible to rearrange PPA cover but that is not a time off that is just rearranging when the work gets done.Comment
