Completely opposite side of London - more than an hours travel.

Not sure if I could walk it in an hour but I could get on the central line at High St Kensington and be at the barbican/Farringdon in about 20 mins.

Remember to keep some for the cab home if you bubble.

4.6 miles, it turns out. I would happily accept it if it were four (as I walk more than that each day to go to and from work, and combined time is 15 minutes per mile)

Would this prosecutor argue that a coin flip before an athletic contest to decide who kicks off or defends what goal renders those games a matter of chance ?)

chess, checkers, and tic tac toe would seem to be much better examples.

It's irrelevant now anyway - Derek Kelly was found guilty today.

BBC News - Gutshot Result

And just as I'd blown the dust off my good walking shoes.

Jury found him guilty in under two hours, suspect they may appeal.
