Hi,

Saw a fight last night (Sat c.7.15) in Sainsbury's - group of Black youths were hanging around the front, looking for someone, then after I went in (with my toddler), they saw the guy they were looking for and set about him just past the security guard's station (a large group with dogs).


I have seen odd things in the park next to Sainsbury's, and my wife has seen trouble before at the Sainsbury's entrance.


Does anyone know the basis for this? It seems a recurring problem?


And does anyone know why the small park remains unlit at night-time even though the gates are open and many people use it as a shortcut after dark?

apparently sainsbury's is a hotbed of nastiness at the moment...

recent handbag snatchings from "right under the woman's nose"

and also an accident involving a child and a trolley.


i was encouraged today to be "vigilant" whilst shopping there

(by a staff member).


you certainly don't hear about these sorts of things happening at iceland.

Hi,

Skin colour was reported to decribe the youths, not for any other reasons, as MitchK pointed out. Indeed I thought that reporting this might be a good reason and generating the reason for a group of us to talk with the manager of Sainsbury's to encourage him/her to beef up the security - ban dogs from the general area and put a kiosk or similar in the park that is open along with lighting.

What has their skin colour got to do with it?


Trust someone to play the race card. The skin colour was a description. Would anyone have protested if you'd said a gang of white guys? I doubt it. FFS.


Anyway, this Sainsburys is the most lucrative in the country. It makes more money than any of the others. Rich pickings for unsavoury types who want to rob someone I'd have thought. I'll stick to Morrisons.

xxxxxxxxxx


Not very likely anyone would have mentioned their skin colour if they'd all been white, is it, NatashaD. That's the point. FFS


:-S

It seems to be offensive to someone, no matter how the description is written:-S


Surely a hurried description is better than none:(


Perhaps you should patronise a black forum Sue, as you are forever pulling the race card.


Why wouldn't people use an all white description anyway, I would.FFS

jesus, enough. there were a gang of intimidating kids and the person chose to describe them. before wading in with an argument about whether this person was right or wrong for what they saw or, before it's decided that it's this or that to state colour of what they saw or, whether you chose to trust them and their views you can check their previous posts to see what kind of opinions that person has previously expressed.


in this case zaardvark seems a well balanced poster who maybe wanted to let people know what they witnessed and if anyone knew what happened. they have also highlighted a very important issue that everyone seems to be ignoring and that is when is the park going to be properly lit?

...My answer is that I DO have a child(I don't btw) he/she just happens not to be with me on this particular occassion:))

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
