It's easy to be the big hero when commenting on someone else's experience. I live in area where I would be really suprised if something like that happened but if it did, I really couldnt say for sure what I would do.

Yep, same here. We had the same milkman in the area for about 30 years, he's retired now and does odd bits of gardening. Genuine 'me community' type. What he must have seen over those 30 years would probably beggar belief. I just can't believe how blase (sp) the kids are about things these days. I remember being 18 or so and doing a taxi jib and I shit it beforehand, during and for days after. I'd love to meet that taxi driver and pay him the £8 we owed him now. Its appears now though kids have no fear of the law, consequences, nothing.Citytillidie69 said:Pigeonho said:The milkman drove by too and kept his eyes fixed firmly ahead.
You did the right thing in contacting the police mate, even if they do nothing at least you can say you tried.
Confronting these two scumbags would not have achieved anything other that either you getting an assault charge or a good kicking. Your family has to come first mate.
Interesting with regards the milkman as we used to have a milkman until a few months ago and he was great, a really nice guy who you could have a chat with and all the neighbours new him- a real part of the community. But he had to jack it in as he was constantly being threatened, not for his money but because he saw illegal happenings in the early hours of the morning. He had been a milkman for over 20 years and just has enough over the last couple of years as he felt he and his family were not safe any-more.
