Samantha Cameron on that scooter

[Anerak]

What on earth!? I don't understand and it's making me cringe

what don't you understand? they're great for zipping around London (I have one).

God what the he'll is all that about?! Embarrassing

Hell, even

Aww booo. I thought you meant a scooter scooter

I wonder if it was a child's scooter. The child got fed up and was out of shot. SC was on it as it's easier than being waked in the shin carrying it. bitter experience

Why not? Great for keeping up with the kids, and I mean that in the literal not the fashion sense.

Maybe it depends on where you live. If I were to scoot one down the street folk would think I was mad.

Aw I thought you meant like a Lambretta, and wearing a dark green Mac, channelling Paul Weller singing Town Called Malice.

any adult on a scooter is weird.

Any adult on a £165 scooter is a twat

Loads of adults use them in town.

They all look like twits.

I think that story would have made a lot more sense if they'd published the pictures of the kids alongside her. It sounds like they were there but the mail for once has been decent about not publishing pictures of kids just because of who their parents are.

Quite a few people use them round here

Northern rather than protecting the kids I think the DM preferred the image of her looking carefree on an expensive scooter while her husband plans his next cuts.

I once hired one when travelling. I fell off and graxlzed both knees. They were dripping with blood as limped back to the hire place. Someone should warn Sam Cam.

It's like a really bad attempt at looking like the rest of us - scooting back bored child's scooter in muddy jeans and t - shirt, normal. Scooting in blazer with designer bag - photo op gone wrong

She hasn't got my look down to a tee yet. I complete the muddy jeans look with a bloody knee when I fall off the evil things. That would really look wrong in designer gear.

I have one just like that, it's great. What's the problem? Aren't adults allowed to have fun?

On the subject of Sam Cam.

When she and her husband were at the door of No.10 waving, did anyone else think she looked a bit unimpressed like, "oh Fgs not another 5 years of this life."

Me and Dm did.

Scooters started as a commuter thing didn't they? I lived in Sydney about ten years ago, maybe longer, and there were loads of commuters on them?

She's finally gone nuts .

I have one...

Its fun going to the park with the DCs.

I've seen a couple of adults on them round here chasing kids on balance bikes, I've not thought anything of it.

Not in London either.

That looks like fun and good on her

I bet she's had it in the shed for the last 3 months, dying to play with it, but not being able to for fear of being papped pre-election.

I never had a scooter, apparently they were for tomboys

What a cock
