Can you get me up tomorrow please

[bubblewrap]

1 hour & 50 minutes to get ready???...at that hour I think I'd attempt it in ten!

I can do bed to London in that time even now.

[Rhona]

I feel sicky for you. When I commuted, I used to get on the train with rubbish hair and no make-up, barely able to speak. A bit of mirror-time and two coffee and criossants later, I used to alight a totally different person!

Worst journey in recent years was a 3.15 a.m. start in mountains near Ronda, to get a flight from Portugal later that day. That was definately a sicky one.

Good luck anyway!

1 hour & 50 minutes to get ready???...

Do these people not realise just what they are asking of a country bumpkin? And whatever you do stay away from those underground train thingies there be monsters in them holes

Never use the tube when I go to London I always walk if I am going anywhere in the central area it is generally quicker.
I can walk from St Pancras to the House of Commons in half an hour.

[piskieinboots]

actually I quite 'like' the underground - well, maybe like is a bit strong, but it sure gets you around the darn place quickly and they don't even scare me
*puffs chest

[janeyo]

I hate them, and the escalator bit is the worst.

I suggest a skype meeting where all parties can remain at home in bed in pj's if preferred and no-one needs to venture to that thar unsafe londoninium place!
Or failing that use telepathy

I don't 'do' underground, and even when London didn't bother me, the underground was a 'no way' situation. I once (about 31 years ago) worked near St Paul's Cathedral for 8 weeks (lived in High Wycombe then) and rather than use the underground to get from Marylebone to St Paul's I took a bicycle on the mainline train and cycled the length of Oxford Street (which is actually not bad, because there are no cars, just buses, taxis and bikes).

Good luck with that Piskie, that's very early. OH always wants us to leave for fishing at stoopid o clock at the weekends - yeah right!!

Big scarey place London, I don't even like Exeter these days, too many people, all getting in my way - I'm turning (turned?) into a grumpy old woman!

[vikkib]

5am!

I always thought I was a morning person (morning being 7am - 8am) until I started having to get up at 5.30am, 4 days a week, nearly a year ago when I started working for my Dad's business and simultaneously moved just over 30 miles away... I wish I could say I've got used to it... I still feel slightly sick some mornings!

I wouldn't work for anyone else for all the money in the world, working for the family business is the best thing I've done but darn it painters and decorators start early!

Well, nearly my bed time!

Good luck Piskie!

I'm an owl not a lark but have to get my son up for a trip to Belgium this friday - 5am leave time. I'm feeling very sick already - given he's a teenager who thinks midday saturday is me torturing him, god help me trying to get him out of bed!!!

[BumbleB]

Think it must be bed time already - hope you sleep well and awake afresh for your London adventure !! (I would be awake all night worrying about oversleeping)
