Dea,

Well done you.

A true story from my past. I used to be a very keen pistol shooter and I was a member of a local gun club. The club was having an open day where members were encouraged to bring a friend along to have a go on the firing range. Although I knew a lot of the club's members I did not know all of them and I met one I will always remember.

She was a lady probably about 60 years old and about as big as you are. The reason that I remember her particularly was that when she removed her outer jacket she revealed that she was, as the American crime novels say, packing a rod. She was wearing a shoulder holster in which she had a Desert Eagle which is a large .45 calibre semi automatic pistol.

I immediately pictured this dear sweet elderly lady being confronted by a mugger or handbag thief. She would probably draw her weapon and to use another Americanism, blow them away.

Maybe she had at sometime in the past been threatened in a supermarket and had decided to be ready should it happen again in the future.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.......................wow! I am tired! Two very long days and one more to go........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz working with some wonderful, wonderful people.


Poor Dea....there are some very rude people about and I am glad you stood your ground! Well done you!


As for FB. I still maintain that it all boils down to sensible posting. Don't post anything you don't want people to know about or to see!!! Anything I post on my time line or someone else's....all are welcome to read. :-D

Thank you for that Jonesey - I am very wary of putting info on FB and have nothing on my timeline.

I just pop in for a few seconds from time to time to look at photo's and things posted by people on here when they have told me to take a look.

I really don't feel comfortable over there and this is even further proof of why I should not.

Ooohh err !

I have just been 'threatened' in the supermarket !! :-S

I was in there and picked up 2 loaves of bread from the shelf and wanted to have them sliced.

I had to push my trolley about 4 feet to where the man was who would slice them.

Between me and there was a couple, standing in the centre of the narrow isle perusing the various bread products.

It seemed logical to me, rather than pull my trolley backwards for several yards, do a tricky 3 point turn and then go around 3 central bread stands that I should politely ask the couple if I could please squeeze past.

Well, they gave me a very nasty glare and stepped back, allowing me to pass - I thanked them.

A few moments later the large man gave me a nasty look and told me I should have walked around them, gesticulating the route I should have taken !!

I, feeling magnanimous, apologised for having made them walk an extra yard (slight exaggeration as it was 1 step back and another step forward but I suppose there were two of them !!)

The very large man looked back at me very nastily and said "you should be VERY careful!!"

So, I, in turn, rose up to my full 5 feet 1/4 inch in height and told him "and so should you" !!!

His wife hurredly moved him away............

Now, my question to Ginns is .........

Knowing that in the past when I have attended various Management Courses and have often disagreed with the tutors about the difference between 'Assertive' and 'Aggresive' - which one was I being here??? ;-) :-D

Good morning all :-)

Well, I say 'all' but I know that most people are too busy today to pop in for breakfast so I will do a couple of poached eggs and crumpets in case Ginns arrives and some bacon butties for me (plus some extra bacon in case of visitors) <3

Yes, my little grandson does pay attention at school, he is learning such a lot and he is very helpful. - The other day we picked him up and he had a big proud smile on his face as he told us "I undid all Wendy's buttons today ;-) :-D :-D :-D (Apparently she couldn't manage them herself ............. ;-) )

He does make us laugh <3

I doubt though that he will be confessing to us who's buttons he has been undoing in 10 years time ;-) :-D
