I dont really like it when I encounter then on the road and there definitely are a few scooter 'types' out there unified seemingly by douchiness. If they are widely adopted though there will undoubtedly be a positive impact on congestion and car levels.
Some people are just never going to want to pedal a bicycle, if they hop on a scooter then great.

If you were unfortunate enough to live in Stevenage, an electric scooter would be a great way to get around.
I think they are currently way too fast and need to be brought under some kind of regulation similar to e assist bikes.
I don't understand the people in this thread pushing walking over scooter use. A 3 mile walk to work is time consuming and a scooter cuts that dramatically.

Asked for a pair of Sealskins sporting gloves for Christmas and so far reasonably impressed. I wanted to be able to free my thumb and forefinger for phone unlocking and use (swiping and putting in the pin each time is too much of a pain in my work). Haven't seen use in the real wet yet but insulation is decent on the colder days we have had. Sizing seems a little small, I have the XL and they are very snug.

Plough Way Cafe, in Surrey Docks is a nice Italian place. Pizza and pasta both great, prices in line with similar operations, decent deals during the day (50%off pizza and a special of the day pasta at £6). The three wait staff I encountered were lovely. I liked the decor too but I guess that is subjective.
(Edit-This is just a recommendation based on a recent visit, not in response to the question upthread)

That helmet cost you at least 90 seconds I reckon, but clearly worth it.
