How far would you travel to work in Walford?

[lankeela]

If you worked in a chip shop in Walford how far would you expect to travel to work? Max and Ian seemed to be driving for ages to get to where Craig lived, and didn't even get held up at traffic lights or crossings. Ian must pay well, thats all I can say!

The homeless are offered a house/flat as soon as they tell someone.

Jobless are offered a job just by mentioning it.

Homes/businesses are bought/sold on the same day without solicitors being involved (other than Phil getting his brief to 'draw up the papers').

Everyone has a previously unheard of brother/sister/son/daughter etc.

No-one ever sees their relatives again in public once they have left Walford.

none of them have washing machines hence the laundrette.

nobody goes to the off-licence they all buy their bottles of wine from the pub.
nobody knows why max carries a laptop and is always 'just off to a meeting'
most of the characters say 'ARKS' instead of 'ASK'
Nobody knows how many bedrooms there are in the Queen Vic.
nobody ever seems to go to the supermarket and they all live off the market food or the odd tinned iem from the minute mart?
hardly anyone owns a car.
getting bored now.....ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

he probably just gets the tube

It took them so long because for some reason they appeared to be driving at about 2 miles an hour even though there was no other traffic.

All Arguments must take place in public places eg the Vic or the cafe.
the houses must have been built using Time Lord technology and built around a temporal anomally. How else can every one fit in them.
Every item of clothing is bought from the market.
everyone goes to 'the Argy Bhaji' or 'Fargo's' on the same night.
Someone who is close to death on Monday will be as right as rain on tuesday.
journeys are made using the space time continum. Craig and Lucy left only a few minutes before Ian and Max but where in Craig's flat for ages before Ian and Max arrived.:-D

Sorry 4getmenot only one star, I realise he probably gets the tube to work, but I used to get the tube to a well paid job in central London from the 'burbs, but for a job in an East End chippy? And if the car journey took so long, it was certainly more than a couple of stops on the tube even the way London Transport operate.

- Anyone can afford to buy an intercontinental air ticket.

- Anyone can travel abroad at short notice without having pre-arranged accommodation.

- All flights leave from Stanstead.

- Leaving Walford an hour before the scheduled departure time will give you plenty of time to catch the flight.

- It is no financial problem if you decide not to go.

If I worked in a chip shop in Watford it would take me as long as it takes to get to Hell (it's the same thing really)

As for the answer below.... The trafic lights never change in Watford, they are forever on red, think it's some kind of deal the local council have set up with the super-market petrol stations. You can spend 10 mins waiting for a change at the station road junction ^^
