Hi Eddie,
What a great project: I wonder how many pictures you'll get!
This picture shows how to overcome ROAD CONJESTION, and do one's bit for helping avoid CLIMATE CHANGE. I commute every day to my office, a journey lasting 25 seconds from upstairs to a spare room. Why drive to work when you can work at home?
I've been "telecommuting" for nearly 20 years, and visit my office in London only once a month or so. I avoid burning about 50 LITRES OF FOSSIL FUELS every week by staying at home.
THE CRAZY THING is that if my local authority knew I worked at home, they'd probably want me to pay them more money - BUSINESS RATES.
Yet, SURELY, the government should ENCOURAGE people to work at home: it will clear the roads, REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS, and SAVE TIME - in my case, nearly THREE HOURS A DAY.
P.S. - This is my home office/music studio!
