Attacked by security guard - police blaming me!

Are you going to be another poster who claims they were only joking when really they're just trying to have a poke at someone and/ or be a bit of a smart arse.

Warning, somedays I have even less patience than mb140, and as for the drink, no, and wouldn't even consider it. HtH.

But don't you see, this is the problem? Your 'lack of patience' with some minimum wage chap merely worsens the situation. MB140 made the point that he remained calm and civil and the problem was adequately dealt with and he got on with his day. Milkround escalated and got in bother. We all deal with idiots every day, just be polite and calm and the issue invariably gets sorted.

Last time I checked sparkling water doesn’t come out the domestic tap. The wife wanted sparkling water with her belvour farm mango and passion fruit.

Peak Waitrose, better class of shoplifting, nonviolent and polite

[Monkeylegend]

One doesn't shoplift from Waitrose, one just defers payment.

The security guard has no right to grab hold of you whatever the circumstances.

On a separate note, who would nick sparkling water ffs!

You see face to face I have almost infinite patience because as you say it's the way to encounter least resistance. Bell ends on PH however...

Just to add.

It's exactly like MB140 who was patient and polite with the possibly "minimum wage chap" but when some arse came on here to have an undeserved poke about buying bottled water as opposed to whatever that comes out of the tap then gave a deserved response.

I'm minded to recall the actor who responded to Thames water's claim that the water was 97% pure. Her response that they were effectively saying it was 3% st.

If a wife doesn’t know that Belvoir is pronounced Beaver then she shouldn’t be allowed to drink it, sparkling water or not.

On the other hand, it does allow for comments like ‘Give me a minute, I just need to go and grab my wife’s juicy Belvoir’.

If they've reasonable grounds to believe you've been shoplifting they can effect a citizens arrest, using reasonable force.

They've no right to search you or your possessions.

That poke was such an obvious piss take though. That's what was funny, and then he kept taking the bait.

Rule 1 - take a receipt

Rule 2, we don't need any more rules.

If Milky taugh me anything, which still baffles my wife, it's Rule 1.

Have a sip at one’s wife’s Belvoir. It will always go down well.

Sipping the wife Belvoir? Is that something rude?

MB140 said:

I’m off to the pub shortly for a Sunday dinner. I’m sure that’s bad for the environment too.

Only if you eat too many sprouts.

You deserve a parrot, and a lesson in regional pronunciation.

I live about 20 miles north of Belvoir. It’s actually pronounced beaver.

Is there a parrot in the vale of Belvoir?

Jesus mate, we get it. Go and buy some fizzy water or something.
