    I would be seeking compensation for the obvious distress. Perhaps sirMarcus has the CEO email?

    Today I am going back into town. I hope these sinners are no longer infecting the innocent streets with their presence.

    I am going prepared though!

    I have sought legal advice and if there is a repeat of the slight I will present them a court summons for the gross misconduct they are performing.

    All but two of the seven inalienable rights I enjoy as enshrined by UK law were violated yesterday and I will not stand for it. I am an honourable person and this dog won't hunt Monsignor!
    If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.

    I was handed a copy of The Stylist this morning at the station - I was disgusted, my dishevelled and raggedy appearance should imply I clearly have no interest in style. I mean its a disgrace, what if non stylish child had been given it, who knows what vile clothing they might be inspired to wear.

    Its an outrage, especially for me with disabled relatives.

    I had one of these things forced into my hands once, before I realised what it was. It was so embarrassing! I had to hide it inside City AM in case somebody saw me with it and got the wrong idea!! :(

    I still have nightmares about the Mattessons Meaty Army.

    Weeks have passed and I have not received the compensation I demanded to sooth the emotional trauma and to pay for the counselling I so desperately need as a direct result of the encounter. Maybe I should write to my MP?

    Years have passed and I'm STILL traumatised at the husband being forced to take a packet of FREE condoms in Oxford Street :mad:

    Me with a hysterectomy and him having been snipped - it still haunts my dreams :eek:

    What's more they were 'flavoured' ones - what perversions were they thinking we got up too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    If they were meat or booze flavoured then this is a triple tragedy!
