SNOW!

Edit: apparently there isn't any any more.

You walked along reading a book in the snow? You walked along reading a book? I don't think my concentration could cope with that :)

Hairy Matthew does it all the time too. Aren't women supposed to be the multitasking gender? I mean, it's *walking*, it's about as automatic an activity as you can get.

I've even seen a girl doing it on an Underground station, but I thought that was taking her life in her hands too much.

I can just about walk along reading a book if I know the route well and hence can use autopilot, and I don't have a sense of balance so walking's really quite hard for me. (I did it quite regularly at school; I don't do it at the moment because all the routes I use cross roads at some point and I will calmly walk out in front of cars when doing this.)

I can, just about, get my sense of self preservation to flag an interrupt of higher priority than reading when approaching traffic lights.

Though if I suddenly disappear from spod one day you'll know what's happened.
