    Try living in Gosport and working in Southampton! ?



    An engineer reporting to me in Southampton asked to work from home in Portsmouth one day so she could take delivery of a bicycle purchased on the 'Cycle to work' scheme. I agreed but said she should make sure she had a safe route to cycle to the office, to which she replied "I checked it out when I ran home last night!'
