I was having a conversation about this the other day. When the pubs were plentiful the teenagers, who were stood outside, would be policed by the late teens, the late teens in the pub were policed by the twenty somethings and so on and so forth. You were taught boundaries, got tolerant to drink, too tolerant in some cases and learned respect. So what if someone got a clip it was all part of the learning process and you probably deserved it. If anyone was getting bullied someone bigger would usually step in. Nowadays it's all litigation! It's shit! Ha ha, so true. When I started going to pubs in Longton I got a smack every other weekend for being a new face and needing to learn the pecking order. After serving my period of deference all was fine and no long term damage done. It was funny though watching the next generation of young ones serving their time and thinking thank fuck that’s over and done with for me.😂😂😂😂 What was the pub opposite the bus station, The Crown? Mental place that was! Went in the Owd Hut once, after a match, stool jumping, totally mental!

Mental place that was! Went in the Owd Hut once, after a match, stool jumping, totally mental! I've had many good times in the pubs in Longton and Fenton. The Red House (is it the Malt & Hop now?) was my local for many years. The Crown - the pub itself was a bit mental, but the rooms were clean and comfortable, and a great breakfast was served up. The Owd Hut - there were more fights between women than the blokes! I've seen em many a time rolling round fighting on the pavement outside.

If today's incident gets extensive coverage and comment on here maybe it will shame the police into taking action and investigating the report fully.

I’ve always liked your posts,you seem like a lovely bloke....those fuckers are just cunts.I think when you’ve witnessed stuff like that it’s really upsetting for yourself and genuinely scary,usually because it’s so foreign to how you behave and see things i.e this complete horrible anger that has somehow been created in these cunts lives.Its tricky and I know you’re meant to empathise with why they’re like they are,but deep down you just want to rip their tiny little bollocks off.

I don't know who's worse, the scum bags or the police Tell that to the poor officer who gave his life on Thursday evening trying to prevent a burglary. I don’t get people’s hatred towards the Police. It’s a far bigger issue than the officers not caring. Our last PM took 20000 off the streets. They probably didn’t attend because they were dealing with other incidents and there just weren’t any officers available. If you want to call anyone scum direct your abuse towards Miss May.

I understand his annoyance and hope your ok mate. Pisses me off that fellow Stoke supporters can be like that to one of there own. Hope Karma steps in on your part. However like poster says the Police were probably dealing with somthing elsewhere. There just isnt enough. Anyone see that chap outside stadium around 2:30ish getting bundled into that van and his mate gobbing off? Lets not forget a wife next week should be getting on a plane and going on honeymoon. Instead she will bet sat at home crying making arrangements for her 28 year old husbands funeral. When all he was doing was trying to stop scum breaking the law. Police Fire Ambulance your efforts are appreciated everyday by most. Hope your ok tho OP. What did you have for tea?

The whole thing getting the bus after games is utterly chaotic. Combine that with the way some people leave their brain behind when something is football related it's a recipe for trouble. I wouldn't bat an eyelid if one day there was a huge fight or something. In fact, leaving the buses their with no supervision is bordering on negligence.

This whole thing about queue jumping really goes against the grain for English people. When it comes to forming queues - we do it for a pastime. It is part of our heritage. I had an incident a couple of months ago. I was first in the queue to go to the self service checkouts in a supermarket. All of a sudden this guy came gliding along on one of those electric sideways scateboards and went ahead of me. After some shoulder barging, he did manage to get his first item scanned. Lo and behold - the next self service checkout became available. I just lent across and scanned some of my stuff on his till. By the time that he had got a member of staff to delete my stuff - I had paid, given him the one finger salute, and left. I did wait outside the supermarket to give him the opportunity "to make something of it". He declined my invitation.
Please note that I haven't mentioned the fact that the guy was black, as it really doesn't form part of the content of my message.

Wank isn’t it? It shows that sticking up for yourself sometimes just isn’t worth the aggro when there’s scummy little bellends like this looking for an opportunity to threaten you. Like you I’m not a fighter and couldn’t be arsed getting a record but I would like to, just once, whack one of these bastards right in the face with no reprisals.
On this topic, queue jumpers in the pub or on the concourse are dickheads too. I like to think I have a look around and know my place in the queue and then you get some ballbag slot straight in there, catch the eye of the bartender, and order his drink as soon as he gets there. Hate people who don’t respect anything like this, as if they’re above it. And again, you can absolutely guarantee that if you opened your mouth it’d be some double hard bastard who wants to fight you because you dared point out they were being a bad person.
Hope you enjoyed your steak nonetheless.

Queueing is certainly a very British discipline. One thing that drives me fookin crazy is when people form three separate queues for, say, three cash machines. ONE QUEUE FOR ALL THREE is quicker and fairer for everyone you plebs!
In Cuba they don’t queue at all, everyone just stands around in a loose group. When you arrive somewhere you just have to shout “quien es el último” (who’s the last one) and someone pipes up so you know you go after them. You can then bugger off and do something else, and as long as the “último” before you is still there when you get back, you keep your place. Actually works quite well if you know the ins and outs, but it’s fucking infuriating if you don’t.
Glad you’re safe and sound boother, sounds like a completely wank experience.

Oh I love women. No doubts about that at all. BUT
When you are behind a woman at an ATM - they pull four cards out - check the balance on every one of them. Then go and draw £50 from the first one that they first chose.
It is just a "woman" thing. It is how they are, it is how they are built. You either love em or you don't.
I just love em, and put up with em.

I don't know who's worse, the scum bags or the police Blame Theresa May not the police their just aren’t enough of them. This. She absolutely decimated the police and was quite happy to let the police take the blame. I know how few there were on the streets at any one time when I left the UK in 2012 and I'm pretty sure it's even fewer now. It's not that (for the most part, of course there are bad apples) the police don't want to attend, it's just that there is literally no one to send.

I've calmed down a bit now. I'm not in a prison cell. I'm not in a hospital ward. I'm not in the morgue. My pride took a bit of a kicking but to who? Those vile little scum rats. Fuck 'em. Glad you're alright Boother. I genuinely believe karma will bite them on their miserable arses eventually. Not very satisfying at the moment though, I know.

I’m in London fairly regularly for work, and it’s always northerners observing the code. Cockney wankers are straight in the bar maids face waving a twenty around every time.

It’s a far bigger issue than the officers not caring. Our last PM took 20000 off the streets. They probably didn’t attend because they were dealing with other incidents and there just weren’t any officers available. If you want to call anyone scum direct your abuse towards Miss May. Indeed but I think the poster was generalising about the police. No way that brave officer should have lost his life, that there are a lot, probably a majority of police who are decent, have the right sense of purpose and yes they were decimated as a result of either heartless Tories cutting numbers or another inept Labour govt that spent all the money (again), or it is a systematic problem regardless of what shit is pretending to be in charge. I think the poster was alluding to a sense of that for most of us our experience of the police is that they are wankers. Whether it's the Saville-like cover-ups, turning a blind eye when it suits, when they will do whatever it takes to protect "pillars of the community" and the establishment, fabricate evidence like the pub bombers, batter demonstrators, ignore reports of terrorist threats leaving them to go on and kill "common" people. What happens when you or I call about a trespasser of burglary, or being threatened? Contrast that with someone trespassing on Buckingham Palace, or government property or someone rich. If someone was threatening a prince would the police call you back later to see if you were still alive. A couple of years back someone was in Stoke town centre with a bow and arrow. Called the police, in their station 50 yds away and their reply was "what do you want us to do about it?". They couldn't be arsed to walk 50m down the road. They called back an hour later to ask if he was still there. Now that was a dump of a town centre like Stoke. Would that have happened at Ascot? I've called them when after a spate of burglaries an alarm was going off. Same response, wanted to know if I was causing trouble. I have never had a positive experience with the police. The fact is, if it's a common peasant being burgled or threatened, or terrorists are plotting to kill people attending a pop concert rather than an opera, they simply do not give a shit, you are not important enough to them. Yet they can be breathtaking efficient when it come to protecting who they see fit. You do wonder who's side the police are on sometimes and that's why it is sometimes difficult to differentiate between the criminal scum and the police who we want to be on our side. I think that's what the poster meant when referring to them as wankers and in no way was condoning what happened to this officer. I wonder if the burglary was at some posh place, which shouldn't make a difference I know, the main thing is that they have the scumbags and I hope they're banged up and they throw away the key.
