I found a dead possum in the garage that I had to remove. Yuk! They're bloody huge, slightly bigger than a domestic cat.

They look so cute! Can you bring me one please Generali?

Mathematically, reports go back to 1958. If you take a timespan of 1958-2008 and say he had 2 opportunities/week on average.... that's 5000 gropes.

Turn this around, imagine being somewhere easy to be groped and I think a lot of women would declare It very easily possible, or more so. Bet there are tube commuting gropers who on a good week get a feel on the way in and out of work every day.

'groping' happens A lOT going unreported. In my late (over age of consent) teens we had a 'tactile' neighbour. I never really knew how to deal with it even though I was not innocent at all. So I never did. I mentioned it to my parents at one stage and they shrugged and told me to keep busy when he was visiting. My mother has 'assets' bigger than min and is well used to the particular side ways opn the tube grope thaty is most annoying because it's not necessairly the person next to you.

Incidentally, dh and I found a picture of me on a one of those work cards you clip to your lapel, and I almost cried. I had almost forgotten I used to look like that. I would have groped me too. It doesn't stop though, because you lose your looks. Anyone with breasts or a bum can get felt up.

I've managed to avoid it by being odd and never in places that were packed. I did get flashed at one nnight though when I was sitting in my car outside a car showroom. I was aware there was somebody standing 8' to my right, I looked, he was early 20s and was standing there looking at me with his noblet out. I shouted "F*** off" and he legged it.

Another night, up the road a bit, just after 11pm one night, a male friend, aged 18, turned up - he'd just been dragged off the streets into the bushes and raped. We legged it over the common with baseball bats but couldn't find the pervert, so then took him down the hospital and I went and got his mum and talked her through it all before taking her to the hospital.

I have had such a sheltered upbringing and life (and no I am not talking about not having to deal with dead possums)

So have I.

My class got flashed at when I was 12 or so. We were waiting outside the portakabin in an isolated part of the school site. I was near the back of the crowd and just followed the herd when we all ran away, without really having seen anything. Apart from that, no groping, no other flashing, nothing.

A friend and I were flashed when we were still you g and innocent.

Her nother took it very seriously and called the police. The police were frustrated because while my friend said he wore a red cap I said that frankly, I hadn't seen his cap and could not give an ID. It really had not been his cap I was looking at, I had seen lots of caps before and fewer of the other notable thing about his appearance to us.

Made it to Scotland after a two hour hold up due to a seven -car crash on the M1. Why does anyone ever use the M1 considering the huge problems that always happen there?

I horrified lir by revealing I was at a Joan Armatrading concert when she was an embryo.

Spoke to my sister about our visit to TOTP back in the 72 and she confirmed that JS was the DJ. Nothing dodgy happened though.

It is not just the gropes, far more serious is the alleged advances on sick children in hospital beds. You can talk about sexual etiquette, misinterpreted exchanges etc when you are talking about adults, but sick kids is a different matter.

To Manchester we always travel M1 + M6 toll road + M6. We used to sometimes do the M1 to Leeds and down the M62, but not since the M6 toll opened.

I think most girls have stories of gropes, unsures and flashers. Most boys don't. And that's why boys "don't see the problem" or dismiss it as an unusual event.... we can tell when one of their friends is creepy ... and they dismiss it as "Oh, he's just messing about" and can't see the problem. But us girls know.... we can spot 'em.

I was just keeping it simple, so as to not sully the NP thread with dirtier words when discussing dirty, creepy old perverts.
