If you had done that to me you would have been arrested

    What for - your word against mine, I would just deny having touched you. It would have served you right for continually kicking my chair after being asked to stop.

    Who would have stayed out of it if they noticed it at all, and would have denied seeing it as they would all have thought it wasn't worth the time wasted and possible court witness citation.

    Anyway none of that happened, no cops, no arrest etc. I suggest you never sit behind me at a cinema if you are the sort of Richard Head who kicks peoples chairs non stop.

    Can you please give it a rest now?

    It's perfectly clear, and has been for some time, that some people approve of the action taken, others disapprove, and some have no strong opinion.

    You are not in any way moving the discussion forward by continually harping on about it.

    For your information, it is extremely unlikely that our respondent would ever face an assault charge (assuming he did not harm the seat kicker) since he would be able to claim self defence and the CPS would consider their chances of success minimal, if they tried to pursue a prosecution under the circumstances outlined.

    A far greater risk than prosecution would have been that the oik in question pulled a knife or came back with a group of his mates.

    Don't be a spoilsport. It's interesting to see how long this thread will go on for.

    You don't have to read the thread if it annoys you ;)

    I'm changing my stance on this thread.

    I was just queuing up for some chorizo at the deli counter at sainsburies when some lout pushed in front of me. I was going to complain to the manager but decided to take the adouglas recommended approach so I punched him in the head.

    It worked! I was served next for chorizo!

    I'm a convert!

    Lokolo - you are the most ridiculous hypocritical moron I have come across on these forums for a while.

    Your signature states " You only live once so make the most of it!" yet you would love to stop parents of children, and even children themselves from making the most of life and visiting countries all around the world.

    Do me a huge favour, don't fly, don't drive, don't walk ... just jog the hell on!!
