steep hill + rollerskates + cobbles = ouch
i grew up in lincoln.
i used to have some rollerskates.
for people not familiar with lincoln, there is a hill that leads up to the cathedral / castle area appropriately named 'steep hill' - it is steep.
there's smooth pavement down either side and a cobbled section in the middle.

i found out that pedestrians don't move out of the way when you come flying towards them on rollerskates on the smooth bit...

cobbles and rollerskates don't mix.

"pant, gasp, Oh why's it called that then?"

"......"
