You order it online and it gets delivered, or do you have to pick up?

 

[BomberGal]

I'd love to help you out with the first lot, but I live in the middle of nowhere, and if I was walking, it'd be at least a good 4 hour walk to anything! (If I walk at 5km/hr.)

Secondly:
The only thing I do in my town is play sport, at the rec reserve across the road from me. (Netball, tennis). To meet my friends, have coffee, or do any groceries, it's a 15 minute drive into town. If I want to do anything else - other shopping, movies, go out for tea, whatever, I have to go to Warrnambool, which is a further 30 minutes drive from town.


Finally, how often (in %) would you get around by
car - 95%
public transport of some description - 0 (we don't have any)
walking - 5% (unless I'm in town, to get somewhere I wouldn't be walking!)

Just had a squizz at colesonline... seems pretty nifty. Dunno if the $8 service charge is worth it though.

The nearest milk bar;1 minute

The nearest pub;2 minutes
The nearest bank;5 minutes

The nearest bus stop;2 minutes

Secondly, what sort of things do you do in your particular neck of the woods? Not talking the city here, but your neighbourhood.

Do you go out to local venues, or venture further afield? Local, as I live in a fairly vibrant area
Do you do your weekly shopping there? Yep
Meet friends there? Yep
Play sport there? Yep (the sport of kings counts as a sport doesn't it?)

I guess the whole idea of this is to determine how close things are we should generally walk to, although us unsocialable Australians drive pretty much everywhere? Anyway, here's mine...

The nearest milk bar: 5 minutes
The nearest supermarket: 5 minutes
The nearest pub: 20 minutes
The nearest bank: 5 minutes
The nearest train station: 1 minute
The nearest bus stop: 1 minute
The nearest restaurant: 2 minutes

Secondly, what sort of things do you do in your particular neck of the woods? Not talking the city here, but your neighbourhood.

Do you go out to local venues, or venture further afield? There aren't really that many decent venues in my direct vicinity. I normally head into the city or Glenelg which is a 30+ minute walk.

Do you do your weekly shopping there? Yes.
Meet friends there? Yes.
Play sport there? My cricket club is about a 15 minute drive/20 minute train ride from my house, so take from that what you will. My old cricket club was a 1 minute walk.

Yeah if you're spending $100 on groceries per week, then its worth it, but if you're only spending $40, its probably not.

One thing is that you're not AT the supermarket trying to resist temptations. if you're strong-willed enough it's not a gain but if you are susceptible to choccie or chippie desires it might work out about even
