we have had this 2 times now first time outside of tesgos in braintree some one had a go at one of the staff , hubby got back to the van and was told , he went stright over to the guys van where he was have his dinner  and dragged the said window cleaner out of the window of his van via his hair and had a chat with 

second time my daughter was threaten when putting flyers  out in colchester that didnt end well either not good when her dad and bother are two streets away that didnt end well for them at all

I like his style but perhaps a bit over board for the situation.

I've no problem with dragging someone out by the hair if they had threatened my daughter but for having a few cross words with an employee Jesus lol

I thought I had a short fuse, your husband sounds like he has no fuse at all !

In Susans husbands defence - he was protecting his daughter and worker from some idiots who told them that this is THEIR patch. Susan’s team don’t go round telling people it’s their patch

Everywhere is my patch so you can all sod off.

bang on , the guy in the carpark was pushing the young emplyee around all 8 stone of him asking him if he wanted his " go " well the young lad didnt but  the hubby did  funny how the other guy didnt when 20 stone drags you out the window

the 2nd time my daughter was told if she was seen here again she would get a slap , nothing in the world could stop them after she rang her dad , he sorts things out the real way like a man , no need to cry to the law , if your banging your chest being ten men then you need to deal with it when ten men come knocking quick and simple

That’s the beauty of having sign written vans, park up in a supermarket car park,  then go drag a competitor out of his van by his hair...Great for the company profile😳

It's very rare to see any aggression actually out and about, normally it's just phone calls from anonymous phone numbers and even that's few and far between these days. I've had the odd phone call to "explain" to me that the town I've just leafleted is their patch. I always just tell them that's fine, no problem, then carry on.

Window cleaners tend to be wierdos who either pretend that they haven't seen you or stare at you until you head over for a natter, at which point they pack up and make a sharp exit.

I'm glad they aren't living on Teesside any longer.

I'm disgusted by this thread.
First rule of fighting over the cleaning of windows is: 
NO PULLING HAIR!
 
Second, of course, is: no bending little fingers back. 

Third: no scratching.

The industry would be a better industry of we all adhered to these laws.

If your guy is that big and intimidating, then surely his mere presence and a few well chosen words should sort the situation, and make things crystal clear!

However, the incident with your daughter, to have a go at a young lady...definitely a slap!

I used to live in Colchester (dutch quarter), Rowhedge and Mersey Island.

Bournemouth is much more...quiet.

It depends on the severity of the patch encroachment.
It's a grey area; unlike the affected arm 😧.

I love the reference to sorting things out like a “real man”. Lol!

I’ve known a few people like that in my life, those who like to use their fists and size to intimidate and even assault. Without exception they have all come to a sticky end.

One bloke I knew ended up doing over 10 years in prison for assaulting someone (who turned out to be innocent). His mrs didn’t like the way the bloke looked at her and did the whole “I’ll show you” thing. So her bloke grabbed and then pounded him. Turned out he was disabled and had a lazy eye. Really smart move meat head, 10 year sentence.

Another bloke I knew of used to be similar, think he was the local hard man who’d sort things out for himself. Of course eventually he messed with the wrong bloke and ended up hiding from an organised crime gang and then (when they found him) he became a wheelchair user for the rest of his life.

The problem with knuckle dragging buffoons is this...there’s always a bigger fish.

You have  to be sensible if you are going to assault someone at least goad them into making the first move....then it's self defence. Like you say going around hitting anyone that looks at you the wrong way is going to end up with you in jail or come across the wrong person.

To be fair in this instance I would say Susan's husband was justified if the window cleaner was physically pushing the employee about then a physical response was warranted.....I thought the cleaner had merely said a few words to the employee and he went overboard.. .

Of course when someone threatens your kids it's a different matter...most dad's would happily do jail time or end up in a wheelchair to protect their children.

I don't think most Dads would do jail time or end up in a wheelchair for their kids.

Most dads would stop and think 'Hmm, how are my kids going to get by if I'm in the pan or in a wheelchair?'
