<pedant>Both the Proclaimers and Al Jolson say that they would be prepared to walk a certain distance for a menial reward. However, neither of them have been recorded as actually completing the expedition.</pedant>

Fair point but <pedant>nowhere does it say that they didn't!</pedant>

Ha! pick the bones out of that one!

I read somewhere that an averagely active person walks about 5 miles a day, so 100,000 miles in a lifetime would be fairly normal.

What's the guinness book of records say?

He's still out walking. That was an example only, thought you'd be bright enough to realise. Silly of me.

[JoJoGabor]

What about the guys who used to carry red flags, walking in front of cars. The ones who worked for IT salesmen must have clocked up a few miles!

[d000hg]

Conversly, others who walk a relatively short distance, could travel many thousands of miles e.g. aircraft cabin crew.

They probably clock up a few miles but spend much of the flight sitting down.

You want a job with lots of walking and minimum stopping to do tasks. What about a parking official, who spend all day traipsing the streets? Postmen maybe too, in places they still walk.
