    Bloke that lives opposite me uses his car to go to the local shop, I have never seen him walk into or out of the road. i walk most distances under a mile or two. Needless to say he is a fat barsteward, but he's not alone. Hardly see anyone walk anywhere. Even more so when I'm in the sarf east outside central London. Lazy sods
    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

      My end client is based out in the stix so walking to work isn’t an option though I have just started doing a 30 minute walk at lunch time, I keep coming back to the office with cow poo on my shoes.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        I live 3 ipod songs away from the office - but as I don't own a car, I walk pretty much everywhere!

            I've changed my routine over the last couple of weeks so that I have to walk into work and back (takes nearly an hour each way).

            It's so lovely - like being given the gift of time.

            Does anyone else use their feet to get to work?
            Yep - Local gig at the moment - not high tech & not a great rate - but to be around the corner is worth it.

              I quite often don't park in clientCo's carpark, but park a mile or so away.
              Avoids the jams, and get 20mins walk each way.

                I've been walking to the office and back (an hour/4 miles each way) for almost 2 years now. Aside from the fitness and weight loss benefits, I find that it gives me thinking time to solve any problems and clear my mind before getting to the office.

                Keep it up if you can - it's well worth it.

                      I walk into work, but it's seventy miles away. I usually arrive by wednesday mid morning, do half an hour, break for lunch, do another half hour then it's time to leave for home.

                      Sometimes, if there is a meeting, or if the server is down, it all seems a bit of a waste of time.
