12 November I was driving down Trinity Rise in Here Hill around 5pm as I have done for a number of years. The road has parking on both sides but with enough pull in spaces to allow free flow of traffic. I pulled into the road from a side road. as I drove down I could see a car approaching, I pulled in to allow him to pass. As he came alonside me he berated me for some time that "I was in the wrong, It's a one way road, I aint pulling over for you" This verbal abuse lasted for several minutes. The traffic from Norwood Road continued to build up. Those too far away to hear the altercation began blowing their horns. After some time he drove away at which time the drivers behind him passed and slowed to ask "are you OK?" two people on the pavement either side of the altercation also came across and asked after my me wellbeing.

Disappointed.

Only at the very top fifty yards or so.


It would depend on the circumstances Cazz, you don't give enough detail - if you're a woman and it was a big bloke ranting at you I would get involved, or if you were elderly and he was young...if it was two blokes of equal size and age I might leave you to it - last time I suggested to two blokes having a standoff like that that they weren't getting anywhere and doing nobody any good they both turned on me and I had to scarper sharpish!


Obviously upset you though, just remember he's a tosser, you've done nowt wrong, brooding on it is what he wants you to do.

    • SNTs don't, as you seem to imply,  comprise just PCSOs. I thought we all knew that.  The facts are easily available.  This one consists of a sergeant, two PCs and a PCSO:  https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/351681-dulwich-hill-newsletter-september-2024/#comment-1681337 or https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/met/southwark/dulwich-hill/on-the-team/crime-map. i've been to another SNT's meetings, and looked at the Met details of some others, and that complement looks fairly typical.  I've not been to one of these Cuppa things so can't speak of them.
    • PCSOs may not need specific qualifications, but they go through a reasonably rigorous recruitment process. Or at least they used to. It may have changed.
    • The ones I've dropped into may be organised by PCSOs in the SNT but regular PCs have attended. They have actually been a cuppa with a copper, but not necessarily loads of them. 
    • @Pereira Neves "Cuppa with a Coppa" is a misrepresentation as PCSOs are not real police.   They have no more powers of arrest that any public citizen. They may have the "authority" to advise the regular police of a crime - just like Joe Public. One exception is that they can issue fixed penalty notices to people who cycle on a footpath. We see people cycling on the footpath every day but have never seen a PCSO issue a fixed penalty notice to anybody. No  qualifications are needed to become a PCSO.  At best, all they do is reassure and advise the public with platitudes.
