Hi,

It is really sad that the owner of the cafe wants their custom. Clearly, the owner of the cafe has a duty of care for the safety and well being of the customer, I believe that this also extends to other people within the vicinity of the aggressor.

Nearly all contractors leave on their 'Hi Viz' vest. For avoidance of doubt look at the contractors name which will appear somwhere on the vest (if you are able).

Finally, when the numb heads are not there, I would go inside and speak to the manager/owner and advise you are not happy and advise that if it does'nt stop you might make a formal complaint. Having had such a response on this site will make me not want to go there and hopefully everyone else!.

Its a human right for a person to go about their business without fear or intimidation. If it continues you might want to go to the community (safer Southwark) office which is at the lodge in the small industrial estate on Goose Green. That said, when you look at the safety wardens they do not do appear as if they care about the safety of residents, visitors or traders.

I will have to leave it there as thats another story for another day.

Regards,

Libra Carr.

I'm sorry, but you can't blame the owner of the cafe, and of course s/he want's their business, it's a cafe!

[TillieTrotter]

I agree with Keef. Also I think this is turning into a bit too much of a drama. If you cant face telling him/them where to get off then just walk on the other side of the road or else get a burly bloke to walk past them with you. I'm sorry to sound harsh but the more intimidated you look the more pleasure they will get.

Well actually all I asked was if other people had received the same sort of abuse (out of interest) and then commented that I'm not the sort of person who relishes a confrontation, especially at 7.45 am. I have been interested in other peoples' comments, but it's not me who has suggested the more outlandish solutions, nor have I tried to turn it into any form of drama. I don't actually look or feel intimidated but do believe it is my right to go to work without attracting the kind of Neanderthal comments that I have had to put up with.

[KalamityKel]

Also, y should anyone have to "avoid" people like that?

Cassius hun mayb take a cricket bat out wiv u next time... ;-)

Quite so.>:D<

[Jah Lush]

I thought this sort of Neanderthal behaviour went out with the Ark. A bully is usually a coward too. Just give 'em as good as you get. The more you let them get away with it the more they'll do it.

Kneecap them! Wnakers!

I wasnt actually having a pop at you Cassius but just saying that these things happen and you either have to deal with it or avoid it. Some of the suggestions (mine included as its only my way of doing things) got a little hysterical is all.:-S

[Cassius]

Hi Tillie

I was just a tad peeved as all I really wanted to know was whether other women were having the same problem as me - or whether I was being singled out for some reason. I don't want to tell the git to f*** off as that would, in my opinion, lower myself to their standard.

I thought some of the suggestions were very amusing and some were, as you say, a bit over the top.

[cazkid]

they make comments at my mum and she dosent walk past them anymore

she crosses the road and walks the other side

but is happy that others are subjected to it to and its not just her!
