Total barstewards this world is a very sad place to live in   at least they didnt harm your mum it just makes my blood boil  

[STMO123]

Glad your Mum is unhurt.  Despite this, she may well need a lot of reassurance to restore her confidence again.  Hope some house to house will unearth ongoing descriptions of the grotbags.  

Yes she is a little shook up, but, in a funny sort of way she's more annoyed with herself for how stupid (her words) she was in going to the door first, before she looked out of the window, which she normally does.

If she doesn't recognise the person at the door, she tells them to go away.

Sorry to hear whats happened AA  

Very sensible   I often look before going to the door....if its someone i dont reognise i just ignore the bell....as its more than likely somebody trying to sell summat.

Quite right TD. You old codgers gotta be careful

Very sorry to hear of your mum's loss of her pension.

My parents live down South and recently there has been a spate of similar things happening. Lots of adverts in local press and the like but still they manage to get away with things.

My Dad recently answered a phone call from some blagger trying it on with ' Hallo /mr...., My colleges and i will be in your area and will call to see your gas appliances.'
Dad let him carry on with his speech and tried to get a little more matey with Dad. '....is it Mr... or what does the E. stand for? Ernest?

Dad said well my friends call me .... but when i was working it was Superintendent.

The telephone line went quiet and there was a loud click.

Dad did not say he was an ex Policeman and he was a Superintendent but of an Engineering works.

Hope the blagger got the shock and kept well away from Mum/Dads area.

Keep the faith and do not let the ba*tar*s grind you down.

Sorry to hear about your mum, I'm glad she is o.k but as has been said keep an eye on her cos this type of incident can effect people weeks later, lets hope not. Bast*rds like that should have there hands cut off As for I.D in this day and age of desk top publishing it would not be to hard to knock up an I.D card thats can be passed as genuine, especially when used on the elderly who by nature can be over trusting. If in doubt its always better to leave them on the doorstep and phone the office in question from a number obtained by yourself not one given to you by the visitor. A bit incovenient for the contractor I know but genuine officials will not mind

scumbags need to be tortured if i got hold of them i would kill them little bastards,probably some little smackhead,who wants smacking in the f**king head,hope she's o.k. will be shankin' a little,what ever happened to respect for older people,again hope she's fine ,all the guys on here  should get together and find them and give them a good kicking

[razzo]

Bloody scumbags horse whipping is too good for them. Glad that your mum is ok

Where my mother lives, she's 99 by the way, the Water Board have been replacing the main in the road. They finished on Tuesday.

Yesterday, a man in a suit rang her door bell, and said, I'm from the Water Board, we've got a problem, I need to turn your water off. She asked him for I.D. and he said, I haven't got time for that, it's an emergency, you'll be flooded out. He pushed past her and headed for the kitchen.

She was highly suspicious and kept questioning him, he pretended to turn the water off under her sink, and after a few minutes, said he'd got to go, and turn other house's off, got up and ran out of the house.

Then she discovered his ba@@ard accomplice had stolen her pension money out of her handbag.

Torture an mutilation is too good for these scumbags.

Sorry to sound off.

I suppose the good thing is they didn't harm her.

You know what, they should give these pond lifes to us, let us deal with them, they say, dont take the law into your own hands but when it happens to family all I want to do is give these people a good kicking and more.

99 years old, fantastic age, this age generation did a hell of a lot to give our generations our standard of living and freedom. We owe everything to these people and when pond life move on them there should be very,very long sentences for them, even thats too good for them.

:(My Mum's getting on now so i understand.
          If you're ever lucky enough to find the sorry t**t, in my workshop with the compressor on no one can hear you scream.

Outrageous. Shoot the tinkers!

Would your mum accept a small donation from me by PayPal? A few bob from me is nothing, but maybe if a few others joined in we could make this near 100 year old lady feel a little better?

That's very kind of you, but no, she's fine Fin.

It's not the money she's worried about, she's more angry with herself for being so stupid.

The main thing is that they didn't harm her physically.

[MikeDundee]

Sorry to hear about that AA ., NOT GOOD AT ALL, We have them all round here at the moment replacing all the mains in the roads/footpaths, there just about to start in my street.

[Ronald_McBurger]

I don't wish to detract from this post, but as per my thread about my son, people are getting away with things because they know that if they get caught they will at very worst get a break in a butlins (well they call it prison, but as my brother is a SPO I know what goes on).

In South Africa if you climb over my fence and my dog bites you, good. The police will come and beat you up too.

In UK I get charged because MY dog bit you ON MY PROPERTY!!!!!

Who the hell made these rules up? At what point in time did any of us, the voting public, acceot that this is OK? Everyone whinges about but nobody is actually doing anything about it. Well that is about to change. Watch this space.

UK justice system works around old precedents, so some stupid thicko jury makes the decisions....

Agree with the sentiments but why put an already over stretched armed force to look after tw*ts that either should have been drowned at birth or properly parented..

The armed force is the fall back of society in the wrong place at the wrong time. They also are tied up in red tape and with the general lack of self discipline would have a big problem trying to get the git's to do any thing.

I know from personal experience how just one bad apple can turn a whole arm team on its head. Would you let some disenchanted Ned loose with a rifle. No it falls back to parenting and the whole education thing.
