Proximity is as much about the enjoyment of the travelling as well as the distance. This is of course a lunch break we're talking about and so isn't just about getting 'the lunch task done'. The walk to Magic Roll along and over the historic floating harbour is a joy in comparison to the intersection that is the walk to the fountains. You're right on one count - My Burritto did bribe me some salsa to say that their establishment was better positioned. If only the Lunchometer team could let me undo my wrong there.... Thank you for your comments ‘Ally’.

It is also literally just this side of My Burrito but scores two less in proximity. Y u no score things right? You should get a job with the X Factor with that sort of fixing!

They seem to have assumed that it's a zero-sum game - they win and the shopkeeper or police lose, where actually their gains from looting are minimal compared to the losses that the country has to carry.

I was 16, reigning UK Youth champion at Go (Baduk/Weiqi), and I got beaten viciously by a 6 year old from China in the Youth section. There's nothing like that to teach you about losing graciously!

Works for me anyway, could be a placebo for all I know!

I'd like to think that the term "debugging" refers to clearing a paper tape program of squashed bugs, but apparently that originates from aircraft engines :) I had a similar reaction when my dad told me that the term “patch” originates from when paper tape was sent to users to literally patch a program on paper tape/ punched cards.
