Sprained ankle etc.? You need a knee scooter!

Recommended Posts

Have you sprained your ankle, or injured your foot or ankle in some other way? If so, this thing is a god send. My wife broke her foot in May, and is still limping. Without this thing, we would have had to cancel all our plans for the last 6 months, as she was in a boot, and on crutches, and unable to manage more than very short distances by herself. Then we got this, in America, and it has been fantastic. She was able to scoot around all kind of places that would have been impossible on crutches, because too tiring. With this, she managed several days out in London, a visit to Hadrians wall, flying to Miami, two weddings, numerous other days out. We have only seen one other in use in London. Basically you kneel on it and scoot along using your good leg (look it up). You can also sit on it, and it takes no effort at all for someone else to push it along on smooth flooring (airports, supermarkets, shops etc.), even normal pavements it is fine. Only problem is uneven ground, cobblestones etc., then no good. I wish I had known about these when I sprained my own ankle! This one is a bit bashed, and we have lost the panier, but basically works fine, and ready to change someone else’s life for the better. £20 pick up Forest Hill 07972368261

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
