Hmmm....BUGGER THIS
(As the bishop said to his new choirmaster)

According to a colleague of mine, we're not expected to come into work if it would mean walking for more than 4 miles / 1 hour

Now I normally walk anyway, and I've managed to whittle the journey down to a little over an hour, but according to Google Maps, it's 4.5 miles from home to work.

I only came in today because my supervisor said we'd need to do stuff on the instrument. "Come and find me when you get in," he said yesterday. It's now midday and I haven't heard a peep out of him.

I'm going home*.

I should also make it clear that, as the Supreme Crow, and therefore speaking for all corvids, we disown Bob Crow. He is not behaving like a proper crow. He is behaving like a great, big, wobbly arse that looms over Central London and shits on all and sundry below.

*_{Going home also carries the advantage of being close to the fridge, and therefore able to make myself a nice big lunch that I really don't need but would enjoy anyway.}

You must look like a right nutter!

Thank you, No3L
If I'd been drinking coffee, I would have sprayed it over my keyboard.

As for my velocity, I'm about 6'2" and most of that is leg.

4.5mph
isn't ridiculously quick, not for an hour. If you really need to get somewhere quickly I reckon most relatively fit people could do 5 or 6mph for an hour.

Ah,
but that would imply I was in some sort of rush to get to work...

Aha
Lanky. Right :)

I average just over three miles an hour for three hours without breaks. It's pretty persistent.
