Hello, this is Johnna and I'm here with another episode of the Dutch Hotel, the Dual Part

One.

Norman was the new chauffeur at the Dutch Hotel.

He lovingly cared for the hotel's three luxury cars, including a Rolls Roy Silver Shadow.

But he himself didn't own a car.

He lived a few miles up the road from the hotel in Kilburn and rode to work on his electric

scooter.

Dave one of the bell hops went one better and had an electric skateboard which he used in

Hyde Park, where he effortlessly sailed past all the foot-powered skateboarders.

And now as you may know, the Dutch Hotel was managed by Alan and his wife Angelicie.

Their two children Yogi and Navsi both wanted electric scooters or skateboarders for their

birthdays and their mother said, no absolutely not!

Because they were way too dangerous, especially in central London with all the hostile traffic.

In fact, strictly speaking, e-scooters weren't yet legal on the roads, not even in the cycle

lanes.

And certainly not on the pavements.

But of course, Norman didn't know about Angelicie's views on electric scooters.

And so sometimes he let the kids ride his scooter around the mues at the back of the hotel,

which was very quiet, so nothing too terrible could happen there.

He did say that they both had to wear their bike helmets, though.

The surface of the mues wasn't exactly ideal for scooting.

It was made of cobbles and it was extra bumpy.
