I was in our local Lidl on Tuesday .
There were five men of middle eastern origin taking interest in some items in the middle isle ,opening boxes, handling the goods within and then casting them aside . These guys were 18 to 20 in bright new trainers and quilted jackets , phones in hand and with bluetooth pods in their ears .
I watched them from the next isle and it was apparent that they would cause an obstruction to anyone trying to pass.
So , in I go ......
However before I could get into attack position a middle aged lady had got in front of me and when she reached these guys they made no effort to move to the side and allow her to pass .
Only a few seconds passed but it was apparent that she was unsure what to do .
I parked my trolley behind hers walked up to these persons of International protection and after eye scanning them asked if anyone spoke English .
One guy said " I do " to which I said" then you'll understand me when I ask you to tell your mates to get to opps out of this ladies way ...Now " .
He gibbered something to them and they moved aside , albeit noticeably rather slowly .
I gave no thanks to them and the lady nodded to me and moved through .
When I moved through one of them , lean and tall , drew me a very long and direct stare .
Childish as it may seem I got to the end of the isle turned around and went back through them ......
I felt like Paul Kersey/ CB. .
The impression I got was that their actions stemmed from their indoctrinated perception of women .
I was very angry .
