Is says on this here street sign that the General Post Office is five minutes walk away. Now, if you can see that big clock tower there, that's the GPO. It is [approximately] one hundred metres away. Granted, there is a slight incline that (might) slow you down, but five minutes? The only response I have is:
BAH!
Time for the Sunday Top Five.
Today's topic is Five Reasons That It Might Take You Five Minutes To Walk From The Corner Of Davey Street To The GPO in Hobart:
- You don't have any legs.
- You stop to count each and every fallen leaf along the way.
- You get hit by a bus as it mounts the curb. Hobartian bus drivers appear to be trained to do so at every opportunity.
- You decide to stop and enjoy the pleasures of one of the local "beats" that can be found along the way.
- You are from Devonport, and consequently get confused and lost.

May be the signboard is not meant to be taken literally, just an expression, hmm?
I could easily take five minutes to walk that...and I do have legs (albeit very short ones!!!)
