HELP! we've lost our little girls scooter in the Lordship lane area. It may have been on Northcross Road even as we headed up upland road etc. It was pink and in very good condition. It had a sticker, on the metal upright bit, of an old fashioned style Snow White (i think!) with two little birds. Has anyone found it? It was maybe even a month ago now, but our little girl is really upset. We'd be soooo grateful if someone has been looking after it for us and could contact us! Thanks.

Sorry to sound stupid, but what's a brace?


I don't think our scooter was stolen, we just accidentally left it behind when daughter no.1 went on the buggy board. I think if we get another one I'll write my telephone number on it. Is anyone out there selling one cheap, apparently mini micros are now ?50 in Soup Dragon!!!

Still no sign of it. Apologies if any of you see me staring strangely at your child's mini micro. Even if i did spot someone with ours, I don't know what i would do, what is the etiquette I wonder. Is the scooter still legally ours or does it belong to the person who now has it? mmmmmmm.
You can just imagine the scene can't you, two parents having a tug of war over this tiny pink scooter while two kids stand there crying. Anyway as I've asked on my other posting, if anyone does find it while the forum is on holiday, pleeeeease could you hand it in to Goodrich School, many thanks.

Great news, we have found the scooter!!!!!!! 6 weeks later we stumbled across it in Just Williams toy shop. The lovely ladies there had put it out back for us for all that time, thank you to them soooooo much. Anyway they said they have another scooter that someone else has left behind so if you or anybody you know is on the hunt tell them to go there. They wont hand it out to anyone though, they will ask you to describe it first!

Wow, what a brilliant result.


Nice to know it wasn't subject to 'scooter theft' which I gather is common - I've heard of a few instances of shiny new scooters being taken in exchange for a very 'tired' equivalent.

    • Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.    
    • Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.  
    • Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou 
    • I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
