What can be done about it apart from stretching piano wire across the road? I also understand the police wont give chase if these thugs remove their helmets in case they get hurt. Why does it matter if they get hurt or even killed? At least it's one less piece of thrash roaming the streets.

I've been called angry + many different names on here but that does not bother me in the least, but what does bother me is when people in all walks of life can not go about their daily Business with out the likes of these scum throwing acid / bleach or any fluid that will harm Man / Women / a child, what I stated I would do I would do make no mistake about that, there's no police to protect us so what's the alternative? my life has been one, look after yourself from the likes of these yobs, if that does offend you that's your choice, If I can help someone that's in this position that they are going to be harmed by someone, I will step in, If you want to look other way, then that's up to you how many times have ou read about the Elderly geing mugged by scum? near enough every week, what happens when ey go into court! a smack on the hand now go and do it again, you tell me that's right, well you live in a different world than me, I'm so if I offend you, but I'm not sorry for the way I would react.

I think 3 x 2s are more battens than planks, regardless of how thick or short.

[ummmm]

Like this, TWR? :-)

I admire her Ummmm, If I knew her I would buy her a G&T without a doubt, It's a pity other don't take the same stance.

[ummmm]

She's great. She used to live next door to my cousin (not far from the giggling sausage)

[Mamyalynne]

Her actions were superb , I cringe every time I watch it at how many drove past while it unfolded.

[TWR]

That's exactly my point Mam, it takes a pensioner with balls to sort out the scum whilst able people look & carry on, afraid of doing something then getting done for assault, what a stupid justice system.

[ummmm]

TWR - they had sledgehammers. Not many people would intervene.

[TWR]

If I was still on the road Ummmm I would definitely make a trip to find this person & buy her a bunch of flowers, she's a star & a credit to persons of her age. x
