Why does no-one walk anywhere?

Pavements are practically empty. I often walk into town (about 2 miles) and never see another person on the way, but the road is full of cars with one person in.
Oh and last week at work, I was in another office which is literally 5 minutes walk from a huge shopping centre. Yet most the people in the office DRIVE there in their lunch time and spend at least 5 minutes looking for a parking space.
And then people whinge about traffic...
Do you walk anywhere? It's just something that really annoys me!

:yes: I know that feeling, not in London of course, but certainly in the 'burbs - feels more and more like America.
Guess its just different areas.
when im at home, i live in watford town centre so theres no real reason for me to drive anywhere, so i survive pretty much on my own 2 legs
One of my mums work mates were complaining about being fat, She said to my Mum "It's alright for you, You walk everywhere!" :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :mad:
For bigger distances, a bus or cab. Sometimes I walk these too, but not if I'm in a hurry or it's night.
I walk further from the bus stop into school than what most of my friends walk from home to school. Like today, i had to go back to a friends because my clothes were drenched from walking from the bus stop this morning, she only lives up the road and rang her step dad and asked him to pick us up.
She's one of the laziest people i know though.
When I was at Liverpool University I walked from my flat (off Smithdown Road) into the university every day. I want to get a flat in Glasgow so I'm in walking distance from the clubs/shops.
Oh, and I recommend people don't try walking back from Aldi with 6 fully loaded bags of shopping. My arms ached for a week . Next time I'm just gonna bloody steal a trolley.
I have a hatred of cars.
Living in a village if I want to go anywhere I have to drive, it's that or do the 20 mile round trip on foot.
