The latest research took into account factors such as what percent of the population commutes by car, the average distance per minute people tend to travel on their commute, and the traffic index of each city or town.

CompareTheMarket.com also looked at how many days we lose each year sitting in the car, commuting.

And what do you know, apparently, in Bedford, we spend an annual total of ​13 days commuting.

Swindon came out on top in the list, followed by Peterborough and Bradford before us.

Hell, we even beat the likes Brighton, Liverpool, Milton Keynes, Manchester, Birmingham, Cambridge, Luton and London.
