Pokémon Go - Are you a monster catching addict?

[Chris_K]

How do you get Pikachu on the bus? You pokémon. Get it?! 

You all know what Pokémon is and you've all seen the world go crazy for the new Pokémon Go game for the past few days, but it's now officially out in the UK and we've seen folk walk into lamp posts, go to the gym but not work out, or pet dogs are now getting the most exercise of their lives...

But what about you? Is going around catching virtual monsters with an augmented reality game/app the #newnormal, or is it nothing but a fad that will fade away?

For iPhone users, get the game here

Apparently the woman driving the pickup on its side admitted to playing the game. Pictures taken by my daughter in law in Rayong.....
