Roller Trainer gripe

Roller Trainers seem to be the big thing with the younger kids today.  They are those trainers with built in wheels.

Having just been round the supermarket and almost run into at least three times by kids skating around the aisles, I am thinking they are not only annoying but dangerous, there isn't much braking going on.

    My nine year old has been asking for those for a few years. They call them “Heelies” here.

    I refuse. They bug the living crud out of me and are supremely unsafe as well.

    I have been informed "Heelies" is the name for them here as well. Obviously I am not "down with the kids" on this one!
