25 - 30 min. Why do you ask?


25-30 minutes is not a distance, it's a measurement of time.

If snow drifted to 6 feet deep you couldn't get there in 25 to 30 minutes.

Now answer the facking question properly Happy

I ask because another member of the Norfolk Massive is on the 'middle lane driving' thread.

As Norfolkians, we have no motorway, and the nearest one to me, the M11, is only two lanes at my end.

Beware with giving this type of info out.  It will all be recorded, then in a few months time another seemingly innocent thread will appear.  It will be called 'How far do you live away from the seaside'.  And in another six months there will be another thread, 'How far is the nearest airport to your house.  Give this information out and your precise location can be determined.

In this internet age you have to be very, very careful.

Just checked - Jack Hacksaw lives in a 3-bed, 60's semi-det. with small but tidy front garden, drive and brown council rubbish bin. He (or wife?) drives a yellow Nissan Micra and they have young children with trampoline in the rear garden. The greenhouse seems to be out of use. The house last sold in 2007 and there is an outstanding mortgage on the property.
He's correct - it's a minefield here.
