Walk to work?
BBC NEWS | Magazine | What if we all walked to work?
Ok who knew it was walk to work day today? I didnt know. Think it was all mainly based in London from the way the interview was going. So heres the question who would walk to work? Is work close enough for you to walk to? Entwisi i could imagine you hiking over threlwall viaduct...  Or all in all is this one more of them pointless days where they say turn your heating off, turn the lights off for an hour etc. Ok when i do go to work i either catch the bus and walk down the road or catch the other bus that drops me off 2 mins walk away. Coming home - i walk up into town and have been known to carry on walking home or i walk round to sisters and she feeds me and then brings me home later.

Re: Walk to work?
Before I passed my test I always walked to work no matter what the weather was doing.
Now I'm lazy and drive everywhere.

I didn't know it was walk to work day.
I didn't walk to work, I never do. I live in Oswaldtwistle and work in Altham so no thanks.
