In 1970 the Scarfolk Crime Commission embarked on the largest study into crime to date. After two years of intense investigation it found a startling correlation between the types of people who commit crime and their early life experiences.
The findings were unequivocal: 100% of criminals had also once been children.
The council immediately put into effect acts intended to reduce, if not entirely eradicate this insidious cause of crime. Thousands of children were rounded up in camps. Toys were burnt in massive pyres. Adults were sterilised. Anyone who had been in regular contact with children, or had ever been a child, was quarantined in vast bunkers specially built several storeys below the council building.
Though Scarfolk was reduced to a ghost town, the scheme proved a success. During the first month that these stringent measures had been implemented not one crime had been committed. Consequently, at the 1972 Conference of Sham Utopias, a local conservative MP predicted that the most successful towns, and even countries, of the future will be those that eradicate all citizens who have any connection to, or dealings with, children or the adults they grow into — via Scarfolk Council

They are too young for a Lambretta or a Vespa, but they might like to be going with the Chad Valley retro electric scooter for kids.
Trading on the classic scooter look of a bygone era, this is a working bike for kids of sorts. By that, we mean it has working headlights and engine sounds, as well as 6V engine
, which hits around 3mph in forward or reverse. Oh yes, has an FM radio too.

Ahead of what would have been Frank Lloyd Wright’s 150th birthday, home design company Schumacher, in collaboration with the Wright Foundation, has revived a collection of geometric-print textiles that the world-famous architect designed in 1955.
Prompted by House Beautiful editor Elizabeth Gordon, who introduced Wright to Schumacher, the collaboration was originally developed as part of the Taliesin Ensemble
, a collection of furnishings for people who did not have the privilege of living in one of his homes. It was officially called Schumacher’s Taliesin Line of Decorative Fabrics and Wallpaper
and included an array of textiles and wallpaper whose designs were hand-drawn by Wright — via Curbed
