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.

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
