1. The Ordnance Survey is recalculating how long walking routes take. The current formula, which is Victorian,generates times which are unrealistically fast for many modern walkers.
2. The radioactive decay rate of xenon -124 has been observed. It has a half life of a trillion times the current age of the earth. Radioactive? Watching paint dry now classed as an extreme sport?
3. The date of release of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is now closer to the end of World War One than it is to the present day.
We live in a town that will soon have 3 McDonald's in waddling distance from each other, yet people will still drive to them. The average walking speed probably is less than 3 miles an hour but I suspect the average person no longer really walks. Personally I walk most routes in about 2/3 of what Google expects.I've just had a read up on the walking one. It says it doesn't believe people walk at 3 miles an hour any more. I would have thought it's actually slightly quicker...
