    I can, and do sometimes, walk a circular route taking in Sainsbury,Lidl, Asda, Aldi and I also pass but rarely go into Iceland and Farmfoods. Oh and Herons and Fultons as well. Tesco is a five minute drive but M & S about 25 miles.

    Before I moved here it was a 25 mile round trip to any supermarket bigger than a small coop so I am as happy as Larry!

    Havent voted for reasons already mentioned. Takes about 5 minutes to walk to the nearest morrisons but for the nearest Tesco, Sainsburys, other Morrisons, Asda, Lidl and Aldi do require a car or a bus (not all have a bus that stops nearby which means a bus to town then another bus out).

    I'm so lucky that I live in the centre of a city and have a car. I easily got past 10.
    If you fold it in half, will an Audi A4 fit in a Citroen C5? :)

    Tesco is less than a mile to walk. Asda & Morrisons are about 3mls

    I'd guess whoever set the poll up lives in a city so hasn't considered that many people don't live within reasonable distance of any supermarkets. Poorly constructed poll.

    I may only have two whole supermarkets near me, but in reality I have parts of many supermarkets near me part of the time.

    With just a few clicks and a wait I can have part of a supermarket on my doorstep.
