I saw an abandoned one on the pavement outside the Royal Hospital in Chester Road at 3am last night. There was absolutely nobody about.Steve30000 wrote: ↑04 Apr 2021, 07:41 Here to stay, or just a fad?

I've seen loads of bairns on these things since and they are all over the road late at night, very dangerous, believe me.
