Can't - due to the economic miracle I've grown up in I can't afford to live where work is. Would love to get home (much) more, but it's just not gonna fly. -

Say I work locally in Birmingham - flexi hours, nice 15 min drive to work after rush hour is gone, well past 9am and usually going back home after 7pm to skip returning rush hour.
Great job satisfaction, working with smart people and even have time during working hours to wind up a few people on CUK, what's not to like?
What did you do for your plan B? Blaming Thatcher isn't exactly going to solve your problems.Comment
