There isn't really anywhere here that you can't walk to.
I suppose it's different in much bigger cities. English cities tend to be walking friendly, aside from London, and perhaps Birmingham and Manchester.
I can't remember the last time I used public transport. I'll admit that I drive more than I should, but my commute, recently at least, has been by bike, and as we only live a mile from town, we only ever walk.
We shop at Monks Cross though, which is about 4 miles away, so we drive there.
I don't understand why I'm getting a severe t-storm alert for a storm in St. Lucie county. How is a storm four counties north of me going to affect this area at all? I would understand if it were in Broward and moving south....but in St. Lucie?! Come on.
Depends. I drive to places when really I should walk. It's different here though as our cities are very dense, so you're always within walking distance of shops, bars etc.
In the US, things are much more spread apart, so you need to use your car or public transport. Or that's how it appears to me at least.

Well, what I meant was that in my local area I can get to wherever I need to go by walking - so if I need to do food shopping, I can walk there, or if I need to get some bread, I can walk to the local corner shop, or if I want a coffee I can go to a local cafe. Obviously, if I was going into town, I'd get the bus or train - it's 4 miles there, which is definitely doable on foot, but most people won't be willing to trek that far every day both ways. I imagine London and other British cities are walkable in the sense that you can walk to places easily, unlike many American cities which are sprawling and often have no pavements - but clearly if you live in Croydon then you're not going to walk to Charing Cross lol.
Had to re-screen my sliding screen door as my darling cat had clawed so many holes in it that soon stray cats would be able to come in let alone mozzies... Went for a strong aluminium mesh, but being much thicker was so difficult to get in place, then the old spline was too thick so had to stretch it & force it in... After many expletives & hands that now are covered in cuts & blisters it is back up, try & claw holes in that now pussy!
One of the few benefits I learned in the military was walking. I walk home from the centre, and I don't feel that I'm even walking. I could walk to Helsinki.
Can't remember exactly, but when I was in Year 6 (10-11) we went on a trip to the Yorkshire Dales and one day we walked quite far - was definitely over 10 miles but not sure exactly. It was cold, wet and miserable, and one girl fell into cow poo.
I remember my feet had blisters after that walk and I was severely sunburnt, not pleasant at all. It was during the summer so it was quite hot and humid.
