Working for myself rules
Chris
Driving from Gloucester towards Trowbridge
down M5 exit towards M4
down M4 exit on A46
Down A46 to A4 leading on A363
If anyone see a Grey Renault Laguna driving slowly on the 1st lane that's me.
I get out of bed, go for a P, stop by the kitchen for a cuppa, then sit down at my desk. 5 minutes from pillow to keyboard!

Just kidding

I get out of bed, go for a P, walk down two flghts of stairs, stop by the kitchen for a cuppa, then sit down at my desk. 5 minutes from pillow to
keyboard!

A171 from High Hawsker through Whitby and up on to the A169. Big grins for 10 minutes and then arrive at work.....
I work from home but spend 3 days a week on site, Blue Passat that can be seen on either M27, M3, M4, M5, M40, M25, M1 and all A roads in the
vicinity!!!
Today is Banbury then onto Oxford then shoot down the M4 to Cwmbran and then Hotel booked in Neath - busy day!!
I get out of bed, go for a P, walk down one flights of stairs, stop by the kitchen for a cuppa, then sit down at my desk. 5 minutes from pillow to
keyboard!
Working for a company that allows home working rules......
Except.....usually in my job it's more like:
Get out of bed at 03:30am, get in the car and drive southbound on A46, then M1, M69, M6, M42 arriving at Birmingham Airport. Then, it's the
red-eye to Schiphol (Amsterdam), then usually a little wait, followed by a cramped long haul flight to whichever part of the world my firm thinks
I'm needed.
And don't think this jet set life is glamorous. Long hours, rubbish long flights (always in economy), dodgy taxi drivers, rubbish cheap hotels,
and of course weeks away from home.

....Alternatively I get up early, crawl into the car and take to the M3 or A34 and head off to visit customers located anywhere in the UK. Lots of
miles, but then I'm quite happy on my own in the car choosing which phone calls to take/ignore

I'd be in the bright red passat, usually in a hurry Get out of my bed (which IS my desk!).
Nothing like military efficiency!
Anywhere in the uk starting from Rushden. Usually when the roads are empty.
Local roads to the A428 St neots then A14 untill A12 nothbound, then upto Martlesham.

Leave home, drive for 10 minutes through the back lanes of Suffolk to Manningtree station, sit in the train and read for 45 minutes, then a 10-minute walk to the office.
Wake up, drag laptop into bed until I can be arsed to move.
Wander to computer via kitchen for bacon.

In the tintop:
A140 south to A14, then keep going until you get to Woolpit. 12 miles, 17 minutes.
In the Mojo:
Every single backlane I can find without leaving the county of Suffolk until arriving at Woolpit. Usually Stowmarket, Haughley, Elmswell, Woolpit.
All with an enormous grin and an eye on the weather! Up to about 50 miles and as long as it takes. Sod it if I'm late! At least I enjoyed the
drive.
Ed.
Its only a 4 mile journey for me.
4 miles and 28 traffic lights, which if God aint smiling will all be on red tripling the journey time.
Then there`s the 20mph crew that drive neck and neck in both lanes 
I feel my blood pressures up just thinking about it.

Anywhere from trying to negotiate the stairs as far as the living room, right through to actually walking out the front door to drive to an airport to fly to Jersey or the Isle of Man, to driving to the south coast or up to Scotlandshire....

That's the thing with Passat's everyone owns one, like you I am usually in a hurry!!
I'm a Project Manager who carries out pub refurbishments etc, involves lots of beer
Wake up, turn alarm clock off and go back to sleep. Mmmm students don't you just hate the lazy sods
At the moment it should be a case of wake up, walk out side and get on a tractor, but thats been delayed.
good thing about passat's unlike BMW's they dont look like they are going fast.
PS I rate them as a superb mile muncher
