Howard Baker (mod) : There was a stand-off on the seafront when we stood on one side of the road and the rockers on the other. We were always in the majority.

From the east there was a strange humming noise which got louder and louder and no-one knew what it was.

Suddenly, hundreds and hundreds of scooters came out of nowhere.
