I've driven to Tesco more times than I should and it's only a 5-10 minute walk. In my defence, it's usually when it's cold/dark/raining.

[radger]

Foot- this morning;half the 3½ miles to work. It's normally all of them both ways, but see below
Bike - September, when I destroyed my front tyre (which is still not replaced)
Car - this morning, because Mr Radger's on a 15-hour shift today so is driving to work (halfway to my work)
Bus - last night, because I couldn't be bothered with the rain
Train - 13th December. It was pretty hideous because of the flooding
Plane - July 2002
Boat - September 2006, to and from a cycling holiday in Ireland
Taxi - 9th December, after not getting back to Bristol from London until 11pm. As it's 5 miles from the station and I'd been working since 8am, I didn't feel like hanging around for a bus or walking. And work paid for it.

I think, even if I had a car, it would take longer to drive, thanks to the one way system! It takes longer to cycle (and it's much more stressful thanks to having to make a right turn, whereas there are lights for me as a pedestrian).

I live a long way from the sea . I've taken out laser/toppers out two or three times but I haven't been on a proper boat unless you mean walking around on the cutty sark and things like that. Actually I suppose I have been on a boat twice - a cruise trip down the Ouse as far as Monte Carlo Naburn and once on the Thames. Yeah I suppose very occasionally. Not for travelling from a to b though, for fun.
