Was 50 metres from the apartment 50 metres too far?

[G-Unit]

I can just imagine some lawyers and PR peeps sitting at that same tapas table a few days later saying:
"jeez this table is a long long way from that child bedroom, how can we trick people into thinking it was closer, oh how about we pretend the child's bed was not in the far bedroom let's pretend the bed was on the balcony and just measure to the balcony, that will shave about 10 metres off the real distance, oh and let's pretend the doctors were actually crows and could fly, that gets rid of another 30 metres, great, we're down to 50 metres now".

I make it 50m from the Tapas restaurant to the reception/exit and then 60m to the top of the road.

It is 90 metres from the restaurant table to the child's bed.

The "measure distance" feature on Gmaps is very useful (especially when it comes to proving that certain PR advisors and lawyers have told us barefaced lies).

Don't blame them it's their job to lie as much as possible

It was still 50 metres as the crow flies though......and we all know a crow might act as a carrier pidgeon with a message if the kids out of sight and  hearing had a problem!! Cos God knows know else else would

Kate says 70m btw here at 3.30

How many seconds away?

How many seconds away?

About 6 seconds as the crow flies.

About 6 seconds as the crow flies.

Is Kate a crow?
she could teach Martin Brunt then who walked from the table the tapas sat at to the gate of 5a and it was 80 paces...

Kate has said it took her 30 seconds or so, but I fail to see any relevance at all of the time it took to go to the apartment

[misty]

Is Kate a crow?

She probably has crow's feet...

[Alfred R Jones]

About 6 seconds as the crow flies.

but if you weren't flying but walking in a hurry, say because you saw or heard something amiss?  Maybe 20 seconds?

don't we all, stop being sarcastic, and who cares

From first post of this thread

"I sat at that same tapas bar and I could see virtually the whole of the patio windows, top to almost bottom and side to side. Their view would not be as good as mine cos they were a little further west"

Why didn't you go sit at the same table and describe the view from sitting at the actual table?

That depends on your footwear. JT's pace would have been hampered by her flip-flops.

The tapas group were not in any position to see or hear anything amiss for a whole variety of reasons so it's a bit of a pointless question

But it was 90 metres from table to child Alfred and to do 90 metres in 20 seconds you'd have to run at 10mph.
"Walking in a hurry" is not fast enough.
Even expert walking race competitors go at under 10mph.

so you could run there in 20 seconds quite easily?

No. 4mph  is slightly above 100m/minute.  Normal pace.

Try elite athlete, 100m in 10 secs still suggests short of the mark.
