Not in this city, no. This city is horribly bicycle and pedestrian unfriendly with terrible urban sprawl. Without a vehicle you can barely go out for a loaf of bread.
Do you ride a bicycle often?

Do you ride a bicycle often?
Never. This city is too crowded and with too many uneducated drivers. It's dangerous to ride a bycicle and there's no room for them on the road. Besides, too many thiefs ready to steal your bike.
Is there an area restricted to cars in your town?
Yes. In my home City of Chelmsford (not used to writing that yet. We only became a City 2 years ago) the high street and surrounding shopping roads are all Car free and the roads are paved and pedestrianised.
Do you like Gardening? If you have no space do you grow anything small in pots?
I don't. In my court I have a wild rose ( should have flowers these days ) and vine but I don't take care of them. Also I ''enjoy''( meaning gathering falling leaves in autumn) some glycine and ivy from my neighbour but only on the terrace. Don't have pots in home because it's too cold during winter.
Who is your fav tennis player?
Tennis is one sport that absolutely bores me to tears. I don't/won't watch it, so I don't have a fav player.
What sports bore you?
plenty of them... surprising since I watched almost ANY sport I could find on tv back in the 90s (including golf, basketball and snooker/pool) and ofcourse every possible thing in tennis, football, F1, cricket and motorbikes.
for the last 6/7 years though I have only watched football and F1.
Do you play any sport?
Football at a very poor level. Both 11 aside and 6 a side. I used to play Table Tennis regularly but havent now for about 5 or 6 years. I also Cycle although not for sport, just to get around.
Can you list your top 5 favourite sports?
As a spectator sport? Well at the top of my head:
Hockey (well, duh! :p: ): Fast paced, hard hitting, demonstrates both individual and team talent.
Football, the American kind, although the Canadian Football League. All the action with far less commercial hype.
Rugby (union): Same reason as hockey I guess.
Motorsports, although I’ve been less interested in Formula 1 lately. I do enjoy the Le Mans series though.
Unlike others, I do at times watch tennis, mostly the major grand slam events.
What's the one world-wide sporting event that you've never attended but would like to if given the opportunity?
the World Cup....absolutely..I and the missus talked about going to Brasil this year a few yrs ago, but the arrival of Storm Jr 1.5 years ago has meant that plan had to be dropped. Qatar 2022 perhaps? closest cup to us and probably cheapest to get to, bu nah..a hot desert and no beer? just no.
Do you read a newspaper (the old and real way?)
Every morning, but not from cover to cover, I tend to skip-read it until something gets my attention.
Would you rather read the book or wait for the movie?
