Question for my fellow British escapists..

[Fractral]

Kids will always find a new fad to follow. Sounds like these scooters are pretty widespread, though I've not seen any in my town. Then again I don't exactly get out much.
A few months ago my school decided that pokemon was suddenly cool again, after a few years of me being called nerdy for playing it. Stuff like this always happens. Give it a few months, a year tops, and kids will be wondering why they ever bothered to buy those scooters when they never use them.

I used to love my Scooter when I was a little Girl!

I'm in Wales, too (South Wales) and I see them everywhere. The only place they fuck me off is when kids take them shopping around Cardiff

It's spread here in the North East too, been gradually increasing for sometime now. May God have mercy on us all.

Prestons bad. In general as well as for scooters.

I was wondering if they'd infested the rest of the country aswell. Horrible things, bikes are miles better.

So lately in Wales, I'm seeing Kids riding scooters around everywhere. Seriously. Wherever I go.

No bikes, no skateboards, no rollerblades, just scooters. Is this happening anywhere else in Britain, or is it just in Wales where there's a scooter invasion?

I live in Cardiff and there's a huge amount of scooters now. My girlfriends family are skateboarders and often complain of kids on scooters racing across the skatepark in the bay dangerously, while their mothers simply look on oblivious.

I wasn't aware it ever stopped since I was very young.

So yes, I see them in South East England.

I live in south Wales, I used to see scooters all the time a couple of years ago, (I was almost ran over by a yob riding one), but I haven't seen one for ages now.

I am not even British just wanted to see if you guys were planning a worldwide coup or something.
