If anyone ever needs anything while we are out...you can bet your life I have it somewhere in my bag.

You know, I never thought I would be stupid enough to wade into situations like this .. but have found myself doing it on a few occasions.

I don't understand what happens .. sorta Incredible Hulk type metamorphosis takes over in me and adrenalin takes over brain cells.

Did go for a gang of four youths who were trying to steal my car from the car park at work in Manchester.... even fought with one of them to stop them entering, and clinging on the bonnet as they were drove off successfully. Was found later with £4,000 of damage.

Other incidents have been groups of youths throwing snowballs/missiles at my car and have pulled up and chased them through the park or given them a good telling off.

Last month had a word with a couple in Ossy ripping hell out of each other telling them to keep their noises down ... the boy was OK actually ... just kept saying "Well, it's her, not me".

Stupid, stupid, stupid !!! (not bravery) .. just can't help it. Surprised myself.

Honest, Cashy, really don't know what happens .. have never been physically violent (ok, verbally on occasions

). I know now I would have done exactly what this lady did, from my past experiences.

Have thought about taking lessons from my son, who teaches Krav Maga (self defence system), to help me if it happens again... OK, that was a plug ...

I call it the "Red Mist" which has descended on me occasionally,as i mentioned earlier, when ive seen people being attacked, but to me this was different circs, this gang was armed n also not attacking me or mine, i honestly do not know, i would hope i wouldn't be stupid enough.

I know exactly what you mean Kate....there have been times when himself has had to hold me back.
He tells me I could get stabbed....hit over the head, punched in the mouth.........but I hate wrongdoing...and if on my own I have no doubt about what I would have done..........I would have been faster than Supergran too.....even with my heavy bag.

.Having said that i would probably do the same again. Top marks to the old girl as cashy says brave but a bit daft as well,but its one in the eye for the scumbags

I could say snap there walkinman, when I worked at Martholme Grange, a guy came in one night looking for his girlfriend, when he found her she was dancing with another bloke, he dragged her outside and was knocking seven bells out of her outside the front door, I went to intervene and the woman started clawing at me with her nails shouting leave him alone, I just said carry on and walked away

If you do an impression of the Hulk Kate, I hope you catty a spare blouse in your handbag, and knowing the size of some handbag's you could probably keep it on the hanger so it doesn't crease

Wow ... how big is that thing

Bet you couldn't get it through airport security

Margaret Pilkington · 09-02-2011, 16:17

Not that big Eric.......it is just soft sided so it accommodates all manner of things.
I emptied it out on the bed earlier today, there was also a sewing kit(with buttons and safety pins) a couple of combs, a magnifying card(the lamps are a bit dim sometimes)......a pair of tweezers, a small pair of scissors. some lip balm and a folding mirror...plus paper hankies.....a couple of pens.....a stub of a pencil......some post it notes.

It would have had a small camera in too...but I had taken it out to put new batteries in it.

Margaret Pilkington · 09-02-2011, 16:18

I'm pretty sure I am not the only female to carry around such an assortment.
