Chav Attack! - Friday

Got up, washed, broke fast, did WoA stuff, went food shopping, helped Steve H to get a temporary parking permit (okay, he was bored and it was nice to keep him company) we then went to B&Q. I peeled potatoes for dinner, we had dinner (Lauren put vegetables on my plate so I ate as many as possible). After dinner we watched True Lies, I then went over to #10. Myself, Steve H, Steve La P, Andrew and Andy K, Colin, Sarah, Brierley and Lorna went to the beach. We threw some stones in the Sea and tried to climb onto a shelter about 2 and a bit meteres off the ground, I almost managed it. Jo, Lizzie and a lady I've not seen before called Liz arrived and we started talking to them too. Then the interesting thing happened, 10-15 youths arrived, they were 12-16 years old and very violent, they tried to start a fight with us but we all just walked off, they walked after us! Here's the interesting thing, most of the guys are over 6ft and well built, two of them came after me specifically and one even punched me, however, due to the height difference, their somewhat lack of strength and my now mild adrenaline rush, it didn't hurt and left no mark. In the end we just jogged off and they left us alone. It gets better! On the way back to #10 we found some girl lying on the pavement as if asleep. We found out her name was Chrisie (she was semi-awake, we assume drunk) and edventually a bunch of drunk friends came over and took her away, spraying beer over most of us (I managed to stand back) but no fight ensued at all. We all got back safely and it was a most interesting evening. It is the first ever time I've ever had anybody try to attack me, it was most unnerving and I'm really glad that it didn't escelate as they had a 2/3 - 1 advantage (assuming the Ladies did nothing) and it'd have ended with someone getting really hurt before it stopped. Tomorrow will hopefully be less violent, though this incident really does give an insight as to why people carry knives for protection.

wow -exciting / frightening night!

glad you had the sense to turn and walk away, and also help a stranger. It takes guts to walk away from a fight and real guts to look after others before yourself.

I hope you have a quieter / safer night tonight!

People do unusual things when they are bored!

I am glad to hear that neither you nor any of your friends we injured.
