I grew up in a village of maybe 800 people with 3 pubs within a 10-minute walk and another 2 that had closed.

I was too young to drink. But people drove to the pub, got bladdered, and drove home again, with optional drainage ditches on both sides of the roads to veer into

I am reminded of Bill Bryson, writing in a different century (just), on why no-one walks https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/bryson-s-america-why-would-you-walk-1079183.html

@Brendanjones I miss passing Dutchies (as in Dutch people), on Dutch streets or in Dutch bars, on the left or the right https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pass_the_Dutchie

In the south of Portsmouth, UK, all of the majority shoulds bar a gas station and a hospital, and I am *fine* with that. The hospital is 5 miles away.

And for the minority shoulds, I can get to a bar. And the others are just a bit further.
