Customers at an ice rink at a mall were less than delighted during the holiday season since the ice, an essential component, was missing.
Even though they were skating over a floor, kids and parents attempted to make the most of the rink on St Anne’s Road in North London.
Skaters attempted to push off over the plastic tiles while still wearing ice skates, but were thwarted by friction.
To assist them in standing on the plastic rink, one youngster had been given a penguin assistance.
Online trolls found the situation amusing and pointed out that several rink patrons were just wearing regular shoes, according to MyLondon.
As she captured the “simulation,” Hanah Zarah smiled and said, “No, just in Harrow. They won’t have a floor, a real surface to skate on, anywhere except in Harrow.
Others hypothesized that the skaters were non-playable characters (NPCs), a word used in video games to describe characters that are not significant.
According to a TikToker user, baby oil should be used to make the floor more slippery.
On social media, We Are Harrow bragged about the free skating, enticing parents to bring their kids to the event.
Time spent on the “ice” will be restricted to 30 minutes, the business improvement district staff warned.
The synthetic rink, which calls itself a “skating rink,” has been a part of the Harrow retail center for some time.
In 2012, the rink again failed to please locals in the North London neighborhood, who labeled it “naff” and “a farce.”
