Walking the talk

It seems the pace of life is being reflected in average walking speeds. Somebody (who clearly has too much time on his hands) has measured the pace at which people walk in different cities around the world.

The study has found that people’s walking speeds have increased globally by 10 per cent over the last decade, with the biggest increases in the far east.

In Singapore, walking pace has risen by 30 per cent and in Guangzhou, China, the figure is 20 per cent.

No wonder we’re being overtaken by the damn Orientals. John Howard is (as usual) 100% right - we must all Walk Harder!
