that's just about do-able, is it?

that's just to get me into Bristol!
It would be another half hour once I get there

Though mr b3th agrees with you that I should have a trial run one day.

Progress at last.
Get a rush hour train in, and another home again and spend the day with the agencies.

Make sure you've got printed copies of your C.V as well as having them on a USB stick - also, make sure it's easily accessable to e-mail it from your phone, just in case that is the only way they can accept it.

That would imply having appointments with agencies
and I can't get any of them to answer my emails or talk to me on the phone.

It's a buyters market out there, alright.

Well send me a list of the agencies you want to contact and I'll either add to it, or if I know anyone there
I'll drop them a line.

Pretty much
My worst commute was about 100 minutes by car to get to a place in Nottingham. Anything more than that I've always stayed over in the week.

At the job I've just left it was 20-25 minutes. I allow more if on public transport because you can read, but it's still "shorter the better".

That's what puts me off working in Bristol.
I know it would add three hours a day to my working time, and I'd end up burning out before xmas. I've been there before, and I really don't want to spend another xmas vacillating between catatonic and hysterical.

I used to work with a lad who commuted up to Barnsley from Nottingham.
Given that he was on about £6 an hour, I thought he was mad. What with the price of car maintenance, insurance and petrol he probably couldn't have broken even.
