I do.  I often walk from the Science Park to the city centre.  I was
assuming, however, that people wanted to talk about general solutions to
problems, rather than solutions suitable for 18-30 year olds in good health
who aren't going shopping.  And people do drive from Chesterton to Cambridge
to go to the shops, I've followed them on my bike.
