I heard on the radio this morning about an elderly lady who attacked some would be thugs/burglars/shoplifters with her handbag and they ran away.(I haven't read the full story yet - apologies for this)
The woman was referred to as "Super Gran" by the person on radio but I wonder how "super" this behaviour actually is....??
My dad did something similar with some eejits on a bus who were throwing things at passengers and intimidating everyone - my dad, being all bravado, challenged them in a not so polite way, the eejits shit themselves and sat quietly for the rest of the journey - this worked out well for my dad, but I told dad that he was silly to do this as it could have cost him dearly. especially when the eejits could have followed him off the bus and jumped him...
Personally, I think this lady is very lucky, as her intervention could have gone the wrong way.
What do you think? Intervene or look the other way? I'm in two minds, I suppose it depends on the situation....
