If these people are identified, personally, I will consider laying an information for a private prosecution - in the event the Police decided not to do anything. They need to learn that this sort of intimidation is not acceptable.

Agreed - I suspect that would probably be the (mostly silent) majority's view too. If I possessed the skills of Chuck Norris that would certainly be my plan A. Sadly I don't, so giving 3 of them a slap is probably out of the question.

The fact that there are 3 of them makes their behaviour all the more intimidating though - which they no doubt know.

Sadly the state of our criminal justice system makes it difficult to undertake court proceedings even if there is reasonable evidence of guilt.


This naturally makes the Police reluctant to undertake investigations such as witness gathering or other evidence gathering. It's just not logical for them from a cost-benefit perspective. Even if you act as a private detective and get evidence yourself, they can be reluctant and can recommend citizens undertake private prosecutions (which are obviously not an option outside the wealthy).


This is a really great summary of why:

Sorry to hear about this.


This afternoon I was shoved quite violently by two teenagers as I walked home from Sainsbury's (on the public path leading to Monclar Road). I yelled at them and walked away but they then ran after me shouting so I started to run too. They gave up quite quickly. Reported the crime to the police but annoyingly I didn't get a good look at their school uniform!


Obviously idiotic 14-15 year olds who think it's funny to intimidate women...


Has anyone else experienced this?

    • Second recommendation for Fiona’s, my dog has been going there for a couple of years and loves it! Great team 
    • I would recommend Fiona's Diggidy Daycare which is in Loughborough Junction but they offer pick up and drop off services when they have capacity.  My dog has been going there for 3 years and loves it. 
    • Ask him politely if you can help him.  I remember staring at my old flat.  Can I help you a neighbour asked.  Yes I said, I had seen that they have split it into two flats. And we had a chat about it.   Edited to add - if they are doing this in plain site then it sounds harmless, but it would be good manners to knock on your door.  In our area there is someone well known on X that walks up and down taking pictures of anything out of the ordinary, often quite trivial, supposedly for laughs.  I could speculate who the owner could be, a creative or a gangster, but that would not be appropriate!
    • Hi. I’m looking for an Ikea ekanaset armchair in light grey fabric (now discontinued) to match one I already have. Just asking on the off chance someone is about to get rid of one!  Would need to be in good condition. Thanks.
