Conor gurgled happily, sounding much like

were saying:

Where I live, giving up the car would mean giving up work. I have no
alternative.

I think the Duhg-answer would be "Move house".

In most places, it still doesn't alter the fact. There's not many
places with 24/7 PT that serves industrial areas.

I suppose I could get a job leaving home at 3am on Monday morning not
to return until 6-7pm Friday night but then whats the point of having a
home and family if you don't get to see them or enjoy the fruits of
your labour?

I work in a town 25 miles away, my wife works here. One of us would
always have to travel, and the very limited PT between these towns would
take me about 2 hours.
Yes, I'm trying to get a job closer to home, but in my kind of job there
are not that many options at my level.

Conor's right, you need to have time for family life too.


Yes, I'm sort of in the same boat, but luckily I rent my house. That means
when I change job, I just find a house near to work and move... I haven't
lived more than 2 miles from work for 10 years now :-) Of course, that
doesn't stop me driving 15,000 miles a year for fun..
