Can't beat a deep fried whippet...
How much is a 'reasonable effort' to get to work..

I would imagine that reasonable effort is getting to the station a bit early to see what trains are available, then getting on the first one to arrive. let your manager know when you are at the station and what the service is like then tell him/her that you will be there when you can. You are making the effort to get in, and any reasonable manager cannot book you late as the reason is a breakdown of transport facilities.

I saw a woman yesterday simultaneously walking an enthusiastic young Pugalier, and towing a toddler on a sledge. I did think she could cut out the middle man (woman) and tie the dog to the sledge....

Walked into town for a job interview however.

I was told a while ago (and I believed it enough that I couldn't be bothered to confirm) that it's illegal to use dogs in harness in the UK unless they are a breed specifically bred to be used in harness, such as huskies.

I dispare of students and staff who fail to get into college when they live locally. I have to travel over 30 miles to get there and last winter that meant getting up at 5.30 in the morning to dig the car out, clear the road, cut away the fallen tree, dig out the neighbours' cars and I still got into work in time for classes and before others did!
In many cases it just takes effort and forward planning to determine how practical and possible it would be to get in.
I can't work from home and don't get paid if I don't show up, that adds to the determination to try.

I wouldn't be surprised....
Although. I've seen jackets designed for dogs to wear that have pockets to allow them to carry stuf like waterbottles, on sale in Millets. No mention of what breeds to use them on.
This site doesn't mention any restrictions, and although there's no location I can find for it, the language makes me think it's British...

In fact there was a dog cart on the Antiques Roadshow a couple of weeks back - pulled by a dog, to bring a piece of the owner's furniture to be looked at! The dog was a pulling breed though, a Bouvier I think.

Your perspective will depend on whether you are an employee or an employer!

Wow, if so, they've mastered English really well...
The knitting pattern suggested Englishness too, although it did mention worsted yarn hence I'm not sure.

Would you care to travel northeastwards and state that a bit more loudly?
Are there any jobs up there for people to go to?
http://who.is says that the IP address of the site is in Montreal. Which figures: you'd expect Canadians to know about dog sleds etc.! I noticed some American spellings on the page - e.g. 'tire' for 'tyre'.
