I would like to relate an incident that occurred the weekend just gone.
My wifes' family were having a B-B-Q in Frimley Lodge park, this lies alongside the Basingstoke canal. Two young lads were fishing together until three drunken yobs came along and actually grabbed hold of a fish one of the lads was holding and bit it's head off! Then told them that they are going to mug a lady that was coming along the towpath. After intimidating this lady and her dogs they then pushed her into the canal. Luckily 2 of my sisters-in-law pulled her out while my 2 brothers-in-law managed to grab one of the b*****ds, while the other called the police. Thank God she was a good swimmer and the police took him away.
This incident got me thinking that had I still had youngsters how worried I would be when they went out on their own.
