    lol, omg, did you hit the person or did you stop in time

    I just brushed her with it, no harm done. She didn't realise that an out of towner would be so aware of their surroundings!

    Thinking about it, I nearly smacked someone in Nottingham too. I had an open topped bag and felt someone trying to get into it. My other arm flew down and grabbed the hand ... To find a PCSO trying to demonstrate how easy it would be to steal from it. Not on my watch! ;)
    Gone ... or have I?

    To the OP: Sorry your bag was nicked.

    To everyone else: Have a bit of sympathy? Sure, she should have been watching her bag but these things happen.

    I can honestly say I have never hit anyone (and vice versa), but if anyone tries to get one of my beloved handbags ... ;)

    You don't tend to foster sympathy when you accuse innocent people of theft!

    How do you know that the staff are innocent? Do you know them personally?

    Just quoting this stupidity for posterity.

    An interesting tale, which reminds me of an experience I had on Sunday. I'm always in the West End as I live in London, and my Mum who was staying with me for the weekend joined me for a shopping trip. As it was a sunny day we packed a picnic with the intention of heading to Hyde Park afterwards.

    I was trying on a jacket in a store and my Mum dutifully looked after my handbag and pashmina, and followed me to the nearest full length mirror whilst I admired myself. Suddenly I realised that I had left a bag hanging on the rail I had selected the jacket from. The colour drained from my Mum's face as panic set in, and she rushed back to the rail.

    Luckily our picnic bag was exactly where I had left it :D:rotfl::D

    No ;)
