In the park this morning, I spotted some youngsters gadding about on their electric scooters.
Thinking to myself, "I'd love a go on one of them contaptions", then my jaw near hit the ground when one young fella said, "D'ya fancy a go old timer?"
I told him, "Yes please", with the biggest grin my gob could muster, then off I went.
After about 3 revolutions of the park, and concern showing on the face of the scooters owner, and a lady about my age shouting after me, "Watch were you're going you daft old b*gger", I came to a stop, and handed the scooter back to the young bloke, along with a £10 note, and a big thank you.
I've just had a cup of tea with the lady over the road, and when I told her about my escapade, and how I was thinking of getting an electric scooter, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh no-o-o-o, don't come here moaning when you come off it and hurt yourself, because you will you know."
I wonder if those lads will be in the park tomorrow?
