..Mrs Mart went into a womens clothes shop, which as most husbands will tell you can be a very dull experiance on a weekend. Therefore I elected to sit on a wall outside and just wait.

A disabled lady arrived and hung around outside the shop shouting "has anyone got a light for my fag?"
Nobody replied.
Bored with waiting and contemplating going into the shop , the next thing I knew, the said lady had plunged into me in my sitting position on the wall and was screaming "Watch where you are f++++g going!"

Very scary indeed, as Mr Mart pointed out, she thought that the general idea was for me to bend down and help her so that my wallet could me nicked by an onlooker.
30 seconds later, she had completely vanished, which one must say is pretty fast moving for someone of 20 stone+ rolling themselves along.

We can`t be paranoid or we would all go mad, but I believe that we must watch out for mugging techniques as they are pretty canny and by this experience (assuming that she was not beamed up suddenly to the USS Enterprise), quite scary, I am quite shaken by the event.

Be very careful out there. There is alot more to these "incidents" than may meet the eye.

Paranoid you should not be - but be aware of strange events that dont seem right - because probably they are not.

Remember every post we write on this forum or any other is read by THEM - and every e mail we send and every phone call we make is stored by THEM - and every car journey is on ANPR computer - and every time you walk down a road on CCTV you are potentially being watched.

This sadly is BRITAIN in 2008. This is how it actually is - not paranoid at all - THEY are open about what they are doing.

Mart, you obviously don't recognise Geraldine McQueen when you see her!

I think the main thing is avoid anybody that shouts "OY!!!" very loudly.

A lesson that I have taught to many, is look through the disability and look at the personality, but the more I think about it, this particular person was not disabled and if she was, she still was not a very nice person.
