And staggering a kilometre and a half back home.

No, getting a lift from the designated driver who just happens to be me

I get 45...quite a lot of facilities around here although it has missed some of them so it should be a bit higher. I do like it around here though. Plenty to do in this area itself and four larger centres very close by (Eltham, Sidcup, Chislehurst, Bromley), the latter being like a major city centre in terms of number of shops and facilities.

I'm thinking of moving into the bathroom at the mall.

54 but it feels more like 25

You do know that Heresson would not approve of that avatar?

7 out of 100 for my house although they missd some things for me as well. Pretty much everything is about 1 to 1.2 km away-- IN that distance I currently have two different grocery stores, 2 pharmacies, a Tims and Starbucks, 4 restaurants, 2 gas stations, a car wash, two liquor stores-- There are playgrounds, and soccer fields and walking trails in less than that distance.

IN about 6 months, there will be two other shopping areas again about a km walk away from me.


Overall I embrace the score and probably wouldn't want a higher one. I like NOT being on top of things and having a quieter street for my children. I do drive more than if I had these things within a few hundred metres.

But overall the transit service is ok and I bicycle a lot-- I wouldn't want to carry groceries for four even 500m (start with two of those four litre milk jugs , 2 litres of orange juice and 10lbs of potatos) but a bike trailer can do wonders-- and when I get on my bike I want the trip to be longer no shorter-- I'm tempted to go to places 5 or 10km away just to get a nice ride out of it

It shows that teh frogs are vital part of wild life and food chain, it emphasises teh fact that teh world needs frogs, and that they are something to be cherished and enjoyed
Still, obviously I'd rather have them eating teh croc.

That would be one nasty food chain.

40 / 100 according to this American scale. Can Americans walk, actually?

This is pretty bad, it knows only half the stuff around here so my score should be 80.

[Nikolai]

Got it to "work". This thing is idiotic. It gave me 2 of 100. Americans can't walk indeed.

Sherlock Holmes lives quite walkable:

The apartment I lived in before, which has lots of stuff in the neighbourhood, got 6/100.

And the place I and two friends are moving into in a few weeks, which has a complete large shopping mall almost right outside the window, got 15/100.
