They just buy their fruit and veg at the market in Clapham and sell on at higher prices. Just looks pretty but same as everywhere else

Go on an optional activity if you don't think you'll get blown away/ something that has been blown away will hit you/ tree will fall on you.

?0ld? so older than 50

My teen is 17 but emotionally fragile and struggles with anxiety and their father had just passed away

That's true, Sue. I'd prefer to advise to walk away rather than engage in stupid conversations with people like this. I don't think there was any physical danger (not with our huge dog there) .... but it doesn't mean these people are not capable of physical abuse as well.

Does she want to work there? or does she just need a job? saying she's not being listened to because she's a woman is very different to saying 'let's understand each others views'. It is basically accusing him of being sexist and he is right to ask if that is what she was inferring. Presumably they value her opinion anyway or she wouldn't be working there? It's fine to disagree on things - but how it is dealt with is important. Your friend clearly feels sexism is an issue so should list out the instances and examples - you can't just say it without reason. they should then have a healthy discussion about it and the CEO can also put their views across and see where they land. As for the comment about CVS - we don't know enough - maybe all of the cvs your friend had put forward were women and he wanted a balance? Maybe CVs could be anonymous from now on.

Same would be good for electric cars

Nigello - I was not commenting on the mental state of the two people who approached my teen. I was referring to my teen's mental state. My teen's preferred pronoun is "they".

we should of course develop resilience as we mature. It doesn't negate the fact that my daughter was out walking the dog quite peacefully and was approached and insulted by two random people. Whether they are overweight or not (doesn't even matter and I won't comment), it's totally unacceptable. My message was to these two people in case they read the posts on this forum. I would happily speak to them in person but I don't know who they are. Child/ young person/ minor - all words being nitpicked here - the fact is that no one deserves to be randomly abused by strangers. Young people are probably less equipped to deal with it.

thanks John - that is the only way - certainly not to acknowledge what they've said. I think she was so shocked it took a while to process what they'd actually said.

Thanks Alex - I'm sorry to hear that your teen has also experienced this. It's not the first time mine has - previously it's been things like "you need to move. you shouldn't be sitting there and you're in my way" or "you need to put your dog on a lead" and so on. She's also been shouted at for not letting a child pet our dog. I wouldn't let a screaming kid near our dog either, they are not a toy. To these abusive people, do not think you have the right to tell a younger person off or berate them. or even speak to them. Funny it's never happened to my husband or me. As said above, a special type of bullying.

To the two old people in DP who just approached my 17 year old and said.. "for someone with a dog that big, you are very fat" How FRICKING DARE YOU 1. approach a child 2. verbally abuse them You have no idea of their mental state and I'm beyond words about how cruel you are.

You?d need to look at the title deeds etc. have you spoken to the land registry?

For godsake. How dare he annoy people. He has every right to be there. People are different and do different things.

it's hardly the party - it's the individuals and the system that needs to be changed. you really think a Boris team would look after the community?

Lidl luxury ones are really good and cheap

The level of contempt the government is showing is obscene

It would be interesting to know the ranked list of causes of accidents and the impact on the NHS. I imagine that the top ones would be subject to Health and Safety regulation at least. Fireworks are probably on there.

It needs legislation for that very reason. The TFL scooters will be more solid and safer, as the bikes are.

No. I don?t think you won any support to your cause by insulting the manager and your general entitled trolling tone

***YAWN***

I think we've been royally trolled.

Slightly more tactful than your earlier post. Still needs work.
