(Grand)Mother of all battles: Scooter Wars in Aisle 12!


Sounds like something Michelle Malkin might do when she’s a grandparent, being a lion-mom and not a sheep-mom and all:

Two grandmothers on mobility scooters had to be dragged apart after getting into a fight where they were “ramming each other like dodgems” in a supermarket.
The women were separated after they started trading blows in front of shoppers in an aisle of the Iceland store in Crawley, West Sussex.

Of course, here in the states, she could just whip out a gun now and shoot the other scooter driver.

What caused the spat?

A granddaughter of one of the women said the pair had been friends but began fighting in the store over money.

    You know – I heard it while shlepping around this afternoon – on the show Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me! I couldn’t resist blogging it. Everyone has to have a vice, right? :)

    Oh – that will be easy. It’s the frozen foods where I get dangerous – bags of frozen veggies are lethal weapons you know. :)

    So this happened in England. I bet it wouldn’t happen in Denmark, isn’t that the happiest country in the world? :-)

    Actually – I think it might have been Iceland.

    I admit it – I went looking for videos of it yesterday before I posted this entry but I couldn’t find any! There might be one by now but I just did a quick “google video” search on “scooters supermarket” and nothing came up. Something might be out there – don’t know!
