    ..............it was lucky that you found somewhere with an internet terminal - perhaps your local library stays open late on Saturdays ? - so that you could post this at twenty past one in the morning !!

    He's probably in an open prison right now though for another one of these accidental incidents.:rolleyes:

    Believing I was correct and that we had done nothing wrong I refused to go back in the shop and carried on walking out telling my partner to come on and not to take any notice of them.

    If you believed you had done nothing wrong why did you not agree to go back into the store to prove it, rather than kicking off and causing a rumpus, if you thought you had nothing to hide why take the attitude you did.

    A few years ago where I live,a local muppett went to rob the local garage armed with a BB gun,fortunatly,someone grassed him up to the RUC before the robbery.
    When said muppet went to do the deed,he pointed the BB gun at the officer,who shot him dead.
    Unfortunatly for the officer,he had a hell of a lot of paperwork (& wasted man hours) to complete after firing his gun!

    Maybe the tesco manager had a metal plate in his / her knee and they did not actually kick the OP but the magnet attracted the knee

    LOL that's funny:rotfl:

    I notice the OP has gone very quiet.

    Maybe his undiagnosed heart problem has reoccurred and he has woken up dead this morning.:D

    I was once accused of being a shoplifter by Woolworths staff (ahhh thems were the days) when I went up to the counter to pay for a DVD, and the security tag (one of the thin red ones that slots inside) had fallen out when I picked it up.

    I handed the DVD and the security tag over to them separately, and they quickly called over a manager who said I was trying to steal the DVD. I had fun explaining to them that if I was to steal it, why did I wait to be serve in a reasonable sized line to hand them the DVD! (morons) It was a very funny day for me.

    Incidentally I had no magnets on me, and I didn't get kneed in the side at any point!

    I would possibly feel a bit bad if that really did happen!

    I was then informed by one of them that I was under arrest and thrown to the ground and kneed in the side by him, I was pinned to the floor with one member of staff holding me by each arm and refusing to let me stand up, at that point I found out my partner then to my amazement had taken a game from the shop and I had not known it,

    Yey!!
