>>>Why? Anyone can create space between their eyes, monitors and keyboard. And with guys working from home, you aren't limited to only those close enough to your office - they can be anywhere. The only two reasons I never worked from the beach were the sand (if it was a pebble or rock beach, I'd reconsider) and that my laptop at the time had one of these fancy glare screens. Looks nicer but it seems that I always sit so that I see myself instead of code.

One of my reasons for working on site is I'm not a great one for exercise. But commuting on my bike doesn't seem like exercise as I'm doing it for a purpose (and saving londons excessive public transport charges) . Currently I'm working in Canary Wharf 14 ish miles each way.
