>>One person may consider being able to change clothes at work about being comfortable and happy, but to someone else it may be far more.<<

I'm afraid I don't understand what is being said here, perhaps you could explain. (In all my working life I never changed clothes at work, so forgive this novice.)

Thanks for volunteering to do this one.

I'm afraid I change clothes at work all the time – I cycle to work and change out of the clothes I cycled in when I arrive, and change out of my work clothes at the end of the day to cycle home. You definitely enjoy on really, really wet days being able to change into dry clothes once you get to work, especially dry socks.

You're right that the sentence is a bit vague, though. Perhaps change it to:

One person may consider being able to wear their own clothes at work about being comfortable and happy, but to someone else it may be far more.

I am afraid we are at odds, it still doesn't make sense to me

It's the "being able to wear their own clothes at work about being" are you using too many words? Perhaps shorten it, say what you mean?

Say what I see?:

One person may consider wearing their own clothes at work is about being comfortable and happy, but to someone else it may mean far more.

Isn't it amazing how that little word "is" makes all the difference? I couldn't work out what was wrong with the sentence and I did try tweaking it, to no avail. However all is well now

I have completed the subbing so if you want to ok it I'll return it to the Eds for final polish

Looks good to me
One minor thing, to avoid basic repetition basically, can you change the following basic sentence?
Something as basic as having a bath is often considered a basic comfort
Something as simple as having a bath is often considered a basic comfort

Once done, press the button!

Done

Now, are we able to access an image of Douglas Adams in his bath? (I have seen such a thing, he recorded a video for us)

or, failing that, how about the rear view of a cyclist pedalling off into the sunset?

Freewayriding's working on a picture of a woman taking off her bra while cycling to Kew Gardens in a sarong.

Hurray! I can now enjoy that sense of freedom knowing that it finally made it and I don't have the responsibility of trying to get everyone's contributions into the Edited Guide any more.
