I was talking to my brother this morning and, funnily enough this subject came up, he was doing a commercial at 5am and the streets were mobbed with drunks, city centre job sunday morning, and a drunk started to give him verbal saying he can't park there and he can't have his hose across a pavement, the lad was saying I know this as I am a paramedic and kept sticking his finger in my brothers chest as his mate kept trying to pull him back, I think my brother who is a sarcastic twat said "well you should know better than poke someone constantly when drunk as it will probably result in the bottom of this 30ft pole being wrapped into you head" then the guys mate dragged him away
but the threat of violence is something to be considered is the point
