Concerned For A Widowed Friend

    I'm intrigued that a five year old notices a stranger hanging around outside the house when leaving for school but the parent doesn't. Perhaps the five year old walks to school alone ? Did this stranger have a big red trolly he was pushing......or maybe a milk float ?

    This would be very easy if the 5 year old is getting ready for school at the front of the house and the mum is sorting things in the back of the house.

    This could potentially be very serious, whether you think it is a "bluelass" thread or not. It is rather disturbing to have someone repeatedly pestering you and even appearing at your house when you have said no.

    I think this could qualify as stalking.

    Does your friend have a trusted male friend that could suddenly start coming to the pub with her, maybe drape his arm around her?

    I hope she gets this sorted.

    If your five year old told you there was a stranger lurking outside your home would you

    1 Look for yourself (according to BL the five year old has seen the stranger but not the mother)

    then

    2 Call the police
    or
    3 Tell BlueLass about so she can post about it


    Really !!! :rotfl:

    If the mother wasn't concerned to look for herself -what conclusion would a normal person draw ?

    So your question is should your friend report a man to the police because he is unemployed ?

    Must be a bluelass thread

    You need to pay more attention!

    She doesn't look like Kate - it's the sister, Pippa, the one with the photogenic !!!!.

    Awww come on Georgiegirl, I love a bluelass thread. Although I have to admit this is one her her tamer ones ( the ones posted in the early hours usually turn into classics )I'm sure we will get a giggle from it all the same :)

    Some posts are funny, but hers I just find disturbing and just intended to yank people's strings, and it works every single time with people winding themselves up over it.

    Give me a thread about a chocolate orange or Yule log any day over this trash!

    I take it this isn't the same pub where your uncle gets his jollies by convincing strangers to take him to the toilet?

    She is going to warn him tonight with me as a witness and will use the record option on her galaxy too for further proof.
    If it then continues she can produce it as evidence that she told him to stop.


    I bet you hardly slept last night at the thought of getting a ringside seat at the Quiz-Night-Confrontation.

    Better watch out though - the unemployed, pubgoing, non quiz participating stalker might take one look at your (in)famous, Pippaesque derriere and switch his attentions to you.

    And that will be a whole new thread. :T
