How fucking spoiled are Europeans when they won’t take a job on the other side of town???

… Is it possible the office is in Southeast London but the actual work is North and West?

I love that you reversed it, when it should be “how terrible do Americans have it where we have to commute so far just to get to work”

And it says the hours are 9 to 5. Who the fuck cares then? If it takes you four hours to get from south east London to north west London, then there’s half of your day. Grab some crisps or some spotted dick and put some footie on your vodafone in the tube.

This could be a 90 commute in each direction depending on where it is.

It’s fairly insane that from Romford to Sutton which is only 30 miles, it’s roughly an hour and 45 minutes.
I just went to the Wiltern in downtown LA last night and it’s about the same distance as Romford to Sutton from where I live, and without traffic, it takes 40 minutes, with traffic an hour.

I used to do Clapham to Cricklewood - which at rush hour could be up to 2 hours if there were delays or it was too busy to fit on a tube.

Where I live, you can drive for three hours and still be within the city limits

I live in a suburb to the east of Phoenix. I wouldn’t even consider a job on the west side. Nothing to do with Europe, just the reality of a large city.

This is how field service jobs are written in my experience, yes.
