To say a tube platform is not a suitable place for a kid to be on a scooter.

I saw a mum casually sitting down while her child of about 5 or 6 scootered up and down the platform. Going quite fast as well. AIBU to think this is stupid? I really don't understand it.

No, ITA with you OP! Tube platforms can fill up very quickly.

We were in Birmingham city centre on Monday - the pedestrianised part. There were no end of people on scooters, weaving in and out of pedestrians. We wished the police would come and sort them out!

Oh god I’ve gone clammy palmed thinking about it. Bonkers.

I also didn’t think M&S good hall on Christmas Eve was appropriate either but there you go!
