I had an odd experience when I was visiting Edinburgh and was informed that the place I wanted to go was around a twenty-minute walk.
I learned that this was a sort of standard estimate and not to be taken literally, but not until after eventually reaching my destination three miles away. I realize racewalkers can get down to something like six minutes per mile, but my goodness. *g*
