I definitely think it is lazy to not walk up that hill. If my 3 yr old brother can walk half the distance of our journey (before finally giving in and getting in his pram without getting tired, he isn't superman), I'm sure an equally healthy toddler can get up that hill no problem.

So how come it's OK for you and your Mum to get a taxi with your shopping but if MissKitty does that with her toddler and her shopping she is being lazy? Ormerod Street is one of the steepest streets in Accrington. I think only the top end of Avenue Parade comes close in comparison.

Of course no doubt you think I am lazy for getting the bus up here and the elderly lady across the road should be walking up here too along with another friend of mine who lives further up and can barely get around the house.
