    I've got a hospital, my family doc's office, another medical centre, an assisted care living space for old folks and about 10 houses all within a 2 minute walking distance from me.

          I'm surprised at how many people can walk to a Pizza Hut.

            You could add me to that list if it were about a 2 minute drive.

              a chinese take-away
              a newsagents
              an off-licence
              two churches
              a cake shop
              a primary school
              swansea institute of higher education (:s******: )
              a car park
              a police station

              you might be able get to the kingsway in two minutes if you were very quick about it, which means loads more things, but 2 minutes is probably pushing it a bit.

                  10 bars, an equal number of restaurants, 8 or so kebaps, cafés, a morning market, several bakeries, plenty of ethnic groceries, and crap dealers.

                  And a ****ing CRS building.

                    A chain of pubs, which whilst not bad in the grand scheme of things, tend to sell cheap and nasty beer to those who merely want a cheap way of getting pissed. Half the time the beers are either going off, are off or are lagers.

                      All of which of course is nonsense as Wetherspoons frequently receive awards from the likes of CAMRA and Cask Marque for the quality in which their beer is kept.

                                Within 2 minutes walk there's a small market (but you shouldn't buy anything there that needs to be stored below room temperature). They also sell crappy pizzas...
                                If we double the walking distance, then we get to another crappy pizza place and some beaches

                                If I was asked this 2 years ago I could have answered that I lived near ~10 pizza places, lots of restaurants and lots of bars
                                This space is empty... or is it?
