Struth - just what might have happened if anyone of these thugs actually had a brain cell between them.. :o

Absolutely brilliant, and good to see everyone else diving in too.....

I know that jewellers in Northampton, bought 2 watches from there a few years back whilst living in the town

Cant believe they were cocky enough to try it in broad daylight, where were the Police.......??

She was brave but completely defenceless, if just one of that gang had decided to swing one of those hammers at her, as most junkie scum wouldn't hesitate to, she would have left her family without a much-loved mother, grandmother, sister etc. Brave, yes - but stupid if you ask me

If that had been my mother I'd be feeling more than a bit sick now

Something doesn't quite add up with that video clip.


My brothers (jewellery) shop has suffered armed robbery, one of his staff (a more 'mature' lady saw them off).  Different values between generations methinks...

its a strange one. as said if one of those idiots had turned nasty it would have been a different story.

i agree brave.... but definitely stupid.

if i had a shop and it gets robbed by armed men, they can nick the lot. lifes more important than a single act of bravery/heroism.

I agree, she is old skool.... :y  Younger people would either ignore as nothing to do with them or pass by because they may be fearful of getting into trouble themselves for assault or something similar, sad times we are heading into, in my opinion and experience.... :(

As I said in the other thread about this, if they had shoved the granny to the ground, or just kicked f**k out of her they would be slated by the press, 'coward gang beat old lady'. It shows they have (some) morals in not retaliating.
