A little philosophy courtesy of "The Perishers" when young Marlon was having to listen to his Granddad's tales of his youth;

"The older they get, the further they had to walk to school each day."

When I was at junior school (7 to 11 year olds) I walked about a mile and a half each way, on my own or with friends. Once I got to secondary school at 11, it dropped to quarter of a mile each way. I think Marlon was onto something....
