Filling up in Sainsburys in Whitechapel tonite...

Paying at the kiosk & cashier (1 of 2) notices 6 young kiddies (8-12?) heading into the petrol station

"They're back"

"Press your button & get security"

Kiddies wander in & cashier says

"Your papers aren't in yet off you go"

Kiddies ignore him

Kiddies then proceed to rifle the shelves near the door and walk out with sweeties and crisps. One looks @ me as I'm walking out & I shrug - not my business & wifey not going to be happy if I get a penknife in the gut over a packet of monster munch

They bugger off

Security saunters up...


They may be small but they have large *****!

Tomorrow's robbers and burglars..........

Did you not have enough fuel to fill up a bit further away from Whitechapel???

pslewis

Whitechapel? Hmmmmmm isn't the whole street £60 in monopoly?

As for the large *****, you will be wanting those same ***** that you now admire 'cut-off' when they steal your car and smash it up in the local Burger King Car Park!!

Its not funny and its not big - you should have given them a slapping!!

They know they are untouchable and that the institutions of the state are on their side.

Five big guys beating them up round the back of the store would make them think twice! Kids these days are the way they are because they can get away with it. No other reason! It evident in early children. Example: 2 year old is pulling stuff out of fridge and lame mum says, 'Stop that!' Kid continues. Mum says, 'stop that or I'm smack you'. Kid continues. Mum does nothing. Brain learns that stop doesn't always mean stop.

Same situ and good mum says 'stop that' in firm tone. Kid continues. Mum says, 'stop that or I'll smack you.' Kid continues, mum (without showing anger) smacks child firmly (enough to sting) and lets it cry without giving it attention. Brain learns. Of course, nosy neighbour sees good mum doing this and calls social services. Good mum is dragged into police station and accused of all sorts. Kid taken to bad foster parents in rough area and gets into a life of crime. How can we win

As things are it can only get worse.

Pete, given the survey the other day that a number of school kids admit to taking a weapon to school at least once a month (or was it term?), I'm not getting involved. I might be bigger and uglier than a spotty 12 year old but as Puff says, a penknife is going to sting. If I had to put money on which kids were carrying, I'd put it on ******* like these.

Anyway Pete, once they kicked over your zimmer frame, how are you going to defend yourself?

Me thinks SB and Leslie are right.
