Maybe that'll light a fire under them. LOL!

This was entirley the fault of the guy that pulled out on me, however it didn't stop him reporting me to the police!!! he decided to throw a racial abuse bit in to, must have been to jazz it up a little, make it sound like i was some kind of yob, (apparentley i'd shouted an abusive word at him!!!!???!!) i hadn't!, The police then thought it best to visit me 1 week after the alledged incident, at 10:30 in the night!!!!! i'd got work in the morning, have to get up REAL early, so i was a little put out, and shaken up at the news!! Its since been cleared up and found to be a complete load of rubbish, the police were actually pretty good when i went in, and did agree it was ridiculous. But this didn't stop me been visited at 10:30pm, told i would have to attend police station to make a recorded statement, and my neighbour a police officer informed me, they could have arrested me there and then!!! 10:30 hauled me off to nick!!!! just on the say so of some guy that drives out of side roads without looking!!! luckily the police in my county don't arrest everyone, but west mids do!! just a few miles down the road i'd have been arrested!!!! ok i'd have been released once i gave my statement, but it really does make you think!!! scared me!!! and getting back to this post, it annoyed me!!! right i've finished rambling on and on now!!! rant over!!

When I was 8 months pregnant with my 3rd child we had some problems and my husband worked nights then. I phoned the police twice and in the end I knocked the window. The youths then tried to kick down the front door! I contacted my husband who came back and rounded up the youths with our neighbour and sat them on the front drive. I rang the police and said what had happened and they came in 2 minutes ready to arrest my husband (luckily they didn't in the end)! Seriously though I found out the next day at a scan that I had problems and I could have haemorraged if I had gone into labour and also my 5 year old struggled to sleep for a montth he was so frightened by the experience. I live in a lovely place by the Nature Reserve and I do love it here but occasionally we suffer for the location.

Not because I don't have faith in the police force (are we allowed to call it that any more?) but because our country is ruled by it's foreign inhabitants. Even our police have to be careful what they say and to whom, just in case it is taken as a racial slur. We daren't look sideways at anyone anymore for fear of being labeled racist. And Stephanie, it is the same with out youth. They are getting so out of hand that again, even the police have to be careful around them. I am so glad that you did not suffer any more than you had too, but saddened that your little girl was so affected by it. Bless her! It's a sly old world where bad is good, and good is bad.

It's sad when people don't take responsibility for their own behavior (the other guy not you). The other day on my way home from work, a man in a pick up cut me off and before I had a chance to react HE flipped me a bird. I was upset but realized that anything I could do would only aggravate him more so I just said a prayer to calm myself down and continued along my way. A few miles down the road he turned off and then flipped me another bird! I was mildly shocked! And then I thought, how sad, he must carry around a lot of rage that he just directs to anyone in his path. What a poor miserable man, and what a poor miserable way to live.
