Bring back skipping

This week, when no-one was watching, I skipped. And in public too. It was fantastic fun and a real cheery-up couple of moments. Why do adults stop skipping? When is it deemed inappropriate for grown ups not to skip and more importantly - why?

And I see I'm not the only one who blogs on the joys of skipping. There's even a skipping website too. So, when was the last time you skipped along the street?
