Re: How do YOU get home after a night out?
If I'm in my home town I always walk home, unless it's raining, as It's only a 5-10min AND I walk past the police station, which is on my road so I deem it fairly 'safe'
If I'm at Uni then I'll stay at one of my friends that lives fairly close or share a taxi home with about 4 others -
Re: How do YOU get home after a night out?
If I'm in a group with other people who wanna walk, I walk. Only takes about 35-40 minutes & when you're drunk & munching cheesy chips on the way it goes veryyy fast!
If nobody else wants to walk, or I go home alone (I have social anxiety so I never really tend to last long in a club - much prefer the pre drinks!) I get a taxi. Usually about £9,
Or if a friend is doing lifts, then I go with them!

Usually go out once a fortnight with the same bunch, usually one of my mates who goes out with us will drive us in his 7 seater as he is allergic to alcohol thus can't drink.
He picks us up and then sends us home, we chip in to give him a full tank of petrol after the night is over. -

Do you people not worrying about being mugged/jumped walking back late at night? -
Re: How do YOU get home after a night out?I guess sticking to the main road would be safe-ish.(Original post by tehforum)

Do you run/jog, or just walk? -
Re: How do YOU get home after a night out?
Taxis in Leicester aren't that expensive (I tend to phone them in advance so I'm not jumping in a black cab). I don't really go out unless I'm with someone I know, and I definitely don't go home by myself so taxis are always split.
At home (Kent) unfortunately I have to beg for lifts off my parents, which I feel awful about doing but when all your friends live 20 miles+ away and the closest place we can go out is 10 miles away, with taxis being in excess of £50 I can't really do it any other way. On the odd occasion the girls in our group will offer to have people stay over (she lives a little closer to where we go out.) and then we return the favour later on.
Buses stop pretty much after 11pm in both places so that's not an option. -
Re: How do YOU get home after a night out?
Depends where I am - Back home, i'll walk. It's close enough to walk and the streets I have to walk are not dangerous.
At Uni (In Nottingham), I get a taxi/bus, unless i'm in the area where I live already. I used to happily walk (it's about an hour's walk, so not terrible. I don't drink though so I would be feeling the cold the whole way through) until my housemate came back one night after walking home from Ocean. He'd had a bag full of ****e thrown at him by some chavs and was covered in it for about 45 minutes. The police wouldn't help him when he bumped into some at a petrol station (he was hammered and covered in ****e, what would you do?) and he ended up throwing up several times before getting home.
He had a quick shower and went to put his clothes in the washing machine. His hands were full so had the wahsing up tablet in his mouth. It exploded. I had to help him get checked out medically throughout the night.
So no, we get taxis in Nottingham.
