I witnessed shop lifting in Accrington's Holland & Barrett today

Why on earth are they stocking compost at this time of year?

Obviously for the same reason that they put straw bales at the side of race tracks. To catch the semi conscious people careering around Accrington

There's going to be a world shortage of compost then.

Accrington - Lancashire's first padded borough.

While in the chip shop in Accrington this evening I heard then saw about 10 gobby chavs giving plenty of mouth to someone. I don't know what was going on but about a minute later I saw them running away, still gobbing off while being chased by two police with what looked like short truncheons in their hands.

Plenty of people starting tender plants like tomatoes in propagators at this time of year.
I'm holding off for a few weeks though.

When I say compost, it might've been coke (as in for fires, not cocaine ) or yon kindle stuff maybe. I just saw this woman sprawled out on this stack of big bags of stuff.

You'd be a great witness, your story is falling apart already!

I left the retro clothing shop I work in today. Not permanently, but just for today. I just couldn't take anymore of this customers bullshit waffle!! He's a total knob head who's annoyed me immensely before. As soon as he walked in the macho fantasy bullshit starts. After over an hour of him telling the shop's owner about his pit bull fighting next Thursday (yes, illegal dog fighting!), how many women he'd 'sh..g.d' in the last month, how his 'mate's' a bare knuckle fighter, how he's the 'best brickie' in Burnley, how much he won in a gambling casino, how women send him nude pictures of themselves and other things I can't mention, how many pints he can drink, etc, etc I just couldn't take anymore. The final straw was when he said my little dog would make a 'good snack' for Tyson, his fighting bull dog. That was it, I just put my coat on and walked out, with the shop owner asking if I was alright. I'll phone him later and say why I left, though I think he'll have a good idea.

You should have slapped him with your duelling gauntlet and demanded satisfaction from the bounder!

I just could not take any more fantasy macho bullshit!!! He even had one of these fighting dogs in his van and asked if he could bring it into the shop!! I bet my mutt shoots more brain cells than he has in his head!! 🧐

A duelist and a gentleman such as yourself could have taken him.

I thought that one of the rules of being a gentleman is that a gentleman never starts a fight, but is always allowed to finish one.

I'm still traumatised by having to listen to the idiot for over an hour!! If I was in USDAW https://www.usdaw.org.uk/Campaigns/...y-of-violence-and-abuse-against-retail-st-(1)
I'd be seeking compensation due to emotional abuse in the workplace!!

I love people like that... so far up themselves that they've no idea that they're actually coming across as an utter k***head. They make me happy that I'm just me

Come on Accy, sort him out!!!
