A PENSIONER on a mobility scooter ended up in a stream after falling down a 30ft bank in the grounds of Chatsworth House.

The 80-year-old was riding around the gardens on Sunday when he strayed off the path and fell down the banking.

First aiders from the Chatsworth estate helped until paramedics arrived.

Because of the difficulty reaching the casualty, members of Edale Mountain Rescue Team were called out to help. He was taken to hospital in Chesterfield for a check-up but escaped without serious injuries.
No doubt heard to shout Yiiiii Haaaaaaa just before he lost it...hehe

Why does that not surprise me for round here? I remember my Grandad had one of these scooters a few years ago and he was a menace on the roads. There's not that many streams going through Chatsworth unless you're up near the hunting tower... that would explain why they needed the Mountain Rescue boys.

Imagine this then, your sat in a restaurant, waiting for your curry to take home, pick up the newspaper next to you, its The Sun, mate picks up News of the world.
Mate "Oh, lieutenant coporal has been killed by Taliban, thats a bit st"
I then burst out laughing, my two mates scowl at me, and a few of the other people had overheard what my mate read, also scowled at me, as if I was laughing at that headline, I wasnt, I got asked what is so funny, and with a tear in my eye, I read out the headline in The Sun

Midget wrestlers dead after hooker romp

I couldnt stop laughing, and I read the headline out quite loud, and heard a snigger from someone bloke in the restaurant, his wife then had a go at him, causing a domestic, whilst I walked out with my curry giggling

"There have been four accidents in the last 15 months in which scooters weighing up to 80kg have fallen onto the railway line. In each case investigations found the cause to be user error.

Two of these involved scooters crashing through Metrocar doors after failing to stop whilst boarding trains. On two other occasions scooters drove off platforms."

Now this is just not funny.............

.....Oh, ok thenhehe off to hell I go

I'm afraid I'd have giggled if he'd said "lieutenant corporal" too. That's my ticket booked, then.
