Pokemon Nutters

I had 'em yesterday - up and down my street - all staring intently at their phones.

Some on foot (OK), some on bicycles (not clever), some in cars (mental, when even the driver has his phone in front of his eyes).

However ... it wasn't quite as busy as this :

Not quite, Jno......we don't wander staring at our phones...and whenever I spot a rare golden-throated pelican warbler I keep quiet about it....don't want crowds scaring it off..... ;-)

Ah I wasn't including Clackers - lethal , agreed.

Remember 'Masquerade' - Kit Williams, that sort of craze.

My son and his mates are all doing it and they are 16 lol. They are going out and getting fresh air and it's doing no harm lol

A group of teenagers had to be rescued from some caves here in Wiltshire a few days ago. They got in there ok and then got lost, thank goodness one of them could get a faint phone signal to call for help, cave rescue and fire brigade had to get them out. Could have ended tragically. Statement from Pokemon stressed that under no circumstances will they use caves in the game!!
