one of the better ideas I’ve heard recently is that commute time should be included in clocked hours

It seems silly to incentivise long commutes.

Why pay someone that drives an hour each way more than someone that cycles to work in twenty minutes?

In that example, based on a wage of £20ph, the driver would be earning £6,666 per year more than the cyclist, that's nearly an additional £300,000 over a 45 year career.. You'd be an absolute idiot to not sell your house and move as far away from your work as reasonably possible.

What kind of stupid question is that? Just walk two hours instead of cycling twenty minutes! Duh!
