Del - 😀 Heh.. not me on this occasion, if I'd been for a night out on the rough it is highly unlikely that I would have any recollection of the incident..
The lithe and accommodating young lass stuck around for a while after and some months later dealt with an angry knife wielding youth in our stairwell..
He'd kicked off with some kids that shacked up smoking bongs in a bedsit at the end of our hall, and whilst a group of around 10 blokes stood at the top of the stairs fretting, she'd unscrewed one of the heavy porcelain doorknobs and calmly leant over the banister, spat '**** off ya little prick' and lobbed it at him, catching him square between the eyes and knocking him out cold.. 😯 😆
God I miss her sometimes 🙁
yuki.
You seem to have turned into captainflasheart. 😛
Kids like that just need a bit of verbal back to them. 8)
sorry - bin reading too much Noel Coward
Nice to see you back here mate. 🙂
Hope things are working out for you now.
It's not too bad thanks SSS... I'm actually quite enjoying the new circumstances on the quiet 🙂

I bet you're lovin it. 🙂
If I'd only persuaded the lithe and accommodating young lady to marry me instead of the erstwhile Mrs Yunki, I probably wouldn't be sat here chatting to you bastards!! 😉
Life's actually pretty rosy all things considered, yes 😀
[i]Sometimes a sound thrashing is the only solution. [/i]
Yep, time and a place for everything.
I'd have phoned the police

I'd have phoned the police
A day late though 😆
It's a 101 issue rather than 999, for me.
If there's a car in the area that can swing by fair enough, if not then at least it's recorded if someone makes a similar call.
I see them throw a biscuit at this Woman
What a waste. 😥
Classical music is the answer.
Get yourself a Vivaldi CD or similar (baroque really does work best, but operatic aria's also do the trick)
get in car, park near the "yoofs" windows down, volume up.
3 minutes of the "Four Seasons" will sort them out
To answer the question, if the parents has any idea how to deal with them, they wouldn't be hanging out in large groups causing trouble.
Though if they are unaware, and you can identify some of the kids, a word to the parents might have an interesting result.
some kids threw biscuits at me when I was tidying up outside after work, the McDonald security guard grabbed one and called the police the kid was in court a few weeks later and the rest asbo'd from the retail park.
The irony of this was the kids had bought the gingernut biscuits from my shop.
I wouldnt have minded but I dont even like ginger nut biscuits
golf club storey
I had similar, 5 lads used to dish out loads of abuse to me, could take them 1 on 1 but not as a group. One day they were giving me dogs abuse just as I was getting home. My brother pulled up in his car and set to them with his crooklock (metal bar thing for steering wheels back in the day).
Never heard a peep from them again. which was nice.

101 costs money as I recently found out :@
Yeah, 15p / call.
I'm pretty sure its 999 as the 'crime' is in progress
Hateful little oiks are unfortunately everywhere. The unfortunate reality is we're now so PC that people can get away with it. Old school would work in this particular circumstance
Or one of Boris' water cannons
Recently broke up a particularly nasty fight between a load of (20+)yoofs who actually were quite good about the whole thing. Mind you this was sleepy south lakesville, not sure I'd have had the melons to do it when i was living in Longsight. I think as long as you approach them with the attitude of 'look lads, that's not right is it?' rather than 'oi, you, jizzbuckets'. You stand at least a 25% chance of not getting you're head kicked in.
Wagon wheels aren't biscuits either.
What about fig rolls?
The only simple solution is to always carry a rucksack with you with some essential kit in it.
When you see a crime in action, find the nearest phone box take Cloak from said rucksack, quickly transfer red underpants to outside of trousers.
Put a mask on and run at the little chumps screaming "I'm gonna fork you up you little mofos"!! "Aarrrrgghhhhhh"
This is the power of "The Nutter!" completely unpredictable and you'd be a fool to mess with one.
OP, it. Is a Police matter. Current age of crimminal resonsibility is 12 yrs( me a cop, wife works with young offenders), just dial 101 and report nuisance youths, give numbers, location ages and description. If they were in uniform you could report the matter to the school they were from.
Probably won't get a cop, but a community bobby attending, unless a cop is in the area. They have committed an offence, but more than likely will get asked to move on/stop being idiots.
Offer them some glue and a plastic bag, it used to keep us quiet for ages..
Getting hit on the head by a jaffa cake wouldn't hurt particularly though would it, now if it was a box of them.

It would if it was a stale one.
Just to add to this -
I used to maintain a set of jumps, and although occasionally we got kids trashing them most of the time they were left alone. After a new line got built thanks to a winter of digging (ever stacked frozen 'bricks' of soil?) I found about a dozen 12-14 years olds kicking them down. When asked why I was told because its boring round here and they couldn't ride the jumps so they were kicking them down to almost flat so they could ride over them. I chatted a bit and they seemed to get where I was coming from in that they were destroying a lot of hard work and there was plenty of room to build there own sets if they wanted. Left fairly amicably but next day - passing by I watched the same thing happening again. I may have got a bit sweary this time, but then calmed down and started re-building. One of the kids phoned his dad, (yeah whatever I thought - hopefully he'll tell you to have a word with yourself). Dad and mate turn up fresh from the pub (judging by their breath) and as I looked up from repairing a jump I was met with the backside of a spade hitting the side of my head. Lots more bashes with the spade and kicks from toe-cap boots later someone finally got out of a car in a queue of traffic that was spectating and that seemed to deter them from going any further.
Never ridden a BMX trail since.
Soo... In short - yes I would phone the police. I would seriously not bother getting involved myself unless I could see someone in immediate danger, you never (well I never) can imagine the amount of ****wits out there who will go to lengths you (I) can't comprehend as being reasonable human behaviour.
If you know where any of them live go and have a polite word with their parents.
Quite often the parents don't like that sort of behaviour either and will do something about it.
Do be calm and polite about it though as no-one will react well to a nut job on their doorstep accusing their child of nasty behaviour.
[i]It would if it was a stale one.[/i]
I see what you did there 🙂 Wasn't that part of McVitties main argument why a Jaffa is indeed a cake?
Anyway, I've also had similar. Walking back from the shops I pass a group of youths sat on wall. As I wander past minding my own business I get torrents of "oi, foureyes", which doesn't bother me. However, they then start pelting stone in my direction which isn't cool.
Got my blood boiling right up so I thought best to ignore rather than get my head kicked in. Hopefully someone with more of a temper than me has taught them a lesson or two by now.
When we were teenagers my father would have given my brother a good hiding (or at least a major telling off for any bad behavior), nowadays parents are more likely to come round and beat you up for trying to defend yourself.
We used to live opposite a farm. Some of the land was bought and a school and playground built.
The head teacher asked locals to keep an eye out as there had been vandals cutting holes in the perimeter fence, playing in the play ground and breaking windows during evenings. This went on for a few weeks.
Finally my father had had enough and rushed over and grabbed one youth. He then called the police and they dealt with him.
Next day our doorbell rings and this man starts swearing and trying to punch my father on our doorstep, my little sister was terrified, there standing next to him was the grinning youth.
It really does amaze me how this can happen and I don't know what the answer is.

Yep, my experience is the exact opposite. Kids can be really quite invasive and aggressive and if you go round for a quiet polite word with their parents you're met with a tirade of abuse and threats, it's rarely the kids of /reasonable/ parents that go out and behave unreasonably (and chucking food is unreasonable). We've all been kids, but verbal abuse and assault of passing people is beyond normal teenage behaviour.
Call 101 and let the police handle it. If you don't they don't get stats on the problems and don't realise there's an anti-social behaviour problem in the area until the kids have progressed to more serious crimes. Might seem like over-reaction for just a simple set of assaults 🙄 but it'll be better for the kids in the long run to get a shock than to be left to it.
Unfortunately
**** adults = **** kids
Your almost certainly wasting your time dealing with the adults (parents is an inappropriate term it most cases)
Talk to the Police instead
If their all Asian take a photo with your phone and pop into the local Mosque/temple. All the Asian taxi drivers I know are very interested in what their children are up to, likewise the community leaders. If you get no joy there maybe the police if things continue.
Was thinking about this yesterday.
It's very frustrating when you see something happen that "offends your core morals" (for want of a better description) like this but you know that essentially there's very little you can do about it.
You can't slap them (and you can't - so that's the end of that) so maybe a better thing to do is wait until the little gits have moved on and then approach the victim to make sure they are alright? Probably no physical harm done, even by a stale biscuit, but quite possible they are a bit shaken up. Maybe offer to walk them home or to wherever they're going. Reassure them that they are safe now and that "not all kids behave like that". May go some way towards repairing the damage done.

Yes, you can.
The law will be so lame you only get peanut assault charges that's all.
You can definitely argue your ground on this and not matter if you punch them or slap them the penalty will not be severe.
Might not be good if you want to travel to USA or non-EU country or places where bureaucratic zombie maggots rule (provided they have computerised system that links all records up) where they ask for criminal records if assault is considered as one. Otherwise, I see no problem in teaching them a lesson or two.
🙄
chewkw - can you make it through a post without using the phrase "zombie maggot"?!
grab the biggest one, hold him upside down and dunk him in a dog turd
😆 This!!!! 😆
peanut assault
Most peanuts assaulted.
Round here there were lots of kids stealing motorbikes riding them round like a bunch of homicidal ****ers and torching them. The police ignored all of this until it was a bank holiday weekend, they arrested the lot of them late on the thursday afternoon and held them until court on the tuesday morning. That seems to have resulted in a great reduction in that sort of behaviour. Good policing that.
gofasterstripes - Memberchewkw - can you make it through a post without using the phrase "zombie maggot"?!
FFS! This is not a thread for guitar noise?
What phrase do you want me to replace it with?
Are you a govt servant? I mean working for the govt? Council? Public sector?
😆

I hope they fed them plain porridge soaked in warm water only for few days.
avoid them, do not stare at them, and do not confront them.they are prolly looking for a reason for a fight/conflict imho. Suppose it's different if someone is in real danger.
I felt like a proper dad yesterday, made some kids pick up their litter. Lots of abuse back my way, threats and denials but they did it, 3 of them, about 14, any more/older I'd have left it.
I now work for a university, does that count?
There's nothing wrong with saying 'zombie maggot', I just think the (amusing) phrase is losing its impact through overuse.
In other news, Maggot Brain is appropriate for this thread on several levels and is not 'noise'!

Ah but it wouldn't be the same around here without Chewkw and his "Zombie Maggots", profligate use of the 'evil' emoticon, and his medieval, and frankly bi-sturbile opinions on capital/corporal punishment.
😉
Maybe we need to put it to the vote. I'm inordinately bored of it, personally.
