The only way you'd have to walk for ages to get to a shop is if you live in the middle of the countryside. I live in a village that has several shops and a few post offices, and about 20 minutes walk away there's another village which has a supermarket and a number of other shops in the same vicinity. Every suburb has shops in it, and most places are no more than a 20 minute bus ride to the city centre.Originally Posted by Dreddz
It's only in the very rural places in East Anglia where the largest settlement consists of about five houses that you can't find any shops within a short walking distance.
Now, Australia is a completely different story. My uncle lives quite near Melbourne and it's literally MILES from his house to get to any shops that they'd consider "local".

My father drives 35+ miles to go to the grocery store. And that is here in America. Originally Posted by DM_Melkhar

I went on holiday to Great Yarmouth when I was 7.
I don't think it was very good.

Great Yarmouth was a nice place to go to many many years ago. There's a naval museum and a monument to Nelson there. It was a really nice place (judging from old photographs I've seen) until they put all the arcades and commercial stuff in. Originally Posted by Burtsplurt

Well there's almost half a dozen. Maybe an eastern meet up could take place in the future at some point. Not saying just yet! At some point though.
