Lol! Cheers for all the advice guys! I'm not worried about fighting him, I was in the paras for six years, and still in the ta as an instructor, so I can look after my self (also did ju jitsu while in the regular army) however as a serving ta soldier I can't just batter him on the street as it would effect my military career!

batter him and then if he grasses batter him again  ;D .... you have better self control than me I think but fair play to you sounds like you need to use the offense of good will or hearts and minds whatever they call it nowadays .. good luck fella !

@ charlie2... excellent thinking, but will it be heavy enough to use as a weapon do you think?

Thanks again for all your supportive words fellas! Despite the shocking rain today, decided to go canvassing and picked up another six customers, so it's onwards and upwards! I'll keep you all updated on the outcome of my little problem!  ;D

Jason, something similar happened to me a few years back.  I reported it to the police and they were very good.

Make sure that you report them each time they try to intimidate you; two or more incidents is counted as harassment and they can be charged for such.

Stick at it, mate; it'll probably blow over.

some good advice on here re keeping you and your family safe - by keeping good security and notifying authorities so you have a record of events if ever esculated further.

i like you just look to secure my own custys and dont dilebetately take other windys work but in canvassing etc its bound to happen occasionally i always step away if they have a windy but picked up some lately coz they wanted to try new wc coz current ones  has been not doing there backs and claiming they had or regular missing windows with poo on. . i figure i do best job ican do to keep my custys and build from there if i was to lose some id just keep going and hope my reputation will make them come back.

You have to look at the profile of this man, five blokes and an old Rover. Something not right there. Its very hard to keep that many blokes gainfully employed and still make a profit if its all being done Kosher.
Very vunerable to a little investigation from the benefits people and the inland revenue. As a public spirited citizen its your duty to make your suspicions known.
