As I don't drive, I am rubbish at working out how long it takes in travelling time in hours for someone to get to me. The mileage thing is good if you can work it out. Anyway, it would be good for dumbos like me to have it in hours on the profile too. Anyone else agree?

Link the site to google maps and see how long it would take driving or by public transport I think

That said, I drive fast. I'm like a pizza delivery guy, I'd be anywhere in the UK in under 45 minutes

To be fair, it can really vary depending on so much.

For example someone having to travel 40 miles on a motorway is going to get there a lot quicker than someone who can only use single carriageway roads.

Also can depend on time of day.

Years ago, I spent a year working in Watford.

Journey was 62.5 miles each way.

Would take me two hours to get to work in the morning and two hours to get home.

Had to go in on a Saturday once - systems check re millennium bug and it only took an hour each way.

Easiest thing I can suggest is, if you know (roughly) where they're coming from - i.e. the Town then Google Maps can give you a journey time.

Simply look up the town, then from the drop down box on the left, select the 'Get Directions' option. Put your own postcode as start point and it will give you a distance and a journey time.
