You should have Aldi, we don't have ruffians there

If I was being juvenile I would say go and buy some eggs or WD40. Would be best of all if they were ASDA eggs and use them on his house, and leave the box on the doorstep.

But I'm a grown up so I won't.

In all seriousness how about going to a 'no win no fee' solicitor and sue him for the days of work you lost, trauma, and emotional stress. I don't think you'll win but it should annoy the bloke a bit.

Its a little bit of a cop out if you go to the police and they can do nothing without camera evidence. But its wrong to react to this yourself. I don`t understand, don`t take the law into your hands. Were the hell is justice. The law is a joke there no respect out there.

[Perfect Windows]

It's not really a "cop out"; it's the way the law has to work.

Let me suggest a scenario for you.  You meet someone in Asda who asks you for some cash for an outstanding debt.  You tell them to get lost, as you don't owe them.  He wanders off and you don't see him again.

Two hours later a policeman turns up and arrests you for assaulting the bloke.

"Where's your evidence?" you cry.

"Well, no witnesses, no CCTV so we really don't have any but the other bloke assures us that you did attack him so we're going to be charging you"

Would you prefer that as a way for the Police to work?

They have to have evidence or it's one man's word against another's.

More importantly

Did He cordon of the 6 ft around you when he felled you from behind ?

The law Mr Willis and Washers say he should have


Hope you are ok

ironically i will prob get hse on my back because i didnt corden an area around myself

Maybe something to think about in the future.

If you got attacked at the main entrance to asda there will be witnesses
go and speak to some one at asda tell them you were attacked a worker
 must have  seen what happen'd or put notice in local rag appealing
for witnesses and defo start civil proceeding for money due

[richard jagger]

I got ban from Asda just because a member of staff would not exchange a faulty computer mouse and I asked to call a manager.He was very close to me and had a foul breath so I told him to move back as he was invading my space and security came and escorted me out. At the the ripe old age of 61 I got banned. I knew the store  manager gave him a call  so got allowed back inn. Quite and achievement.

[Spruce]

So in Asda you can slap your own bum and its an advert, but if you slap anyone else's bum its a ban.

police turned up . he told me he would review the footage on the cctv. its possible the camera was facing the right way but unlikely. no witnesses either . so the best he could help me is he would go and see him and give him a caution. although not an official one . cop out springs to mind . i should of just belted him( not the copper) lol . unless the cctv proves helpful of course .......police are coming back in a hour after reviewing the tapes

If the suspect has previous convictions / cautions for a similar offence then he shouldn't be eligible for a caution.

What's the point of an unofficial caution anyway?

Definitely sounds like an attempt at a cop out before any investigations taken place

[Dominic Carnell]

In hindsight it probably would have been best to call the police when he threatened to wait outside to beat you up.

update


cops interviewed him and  he said I ATTACKED HIM . when the officer said it was on tape he back tracked and said he was provoked because i called him a thief in the supermarket. which i did tbh . the cop warned him that he cant hit anybody and i was within my right to have him charged . although he said to me the incident would result in an official caution in his opinion,  that's if i did want to go that way. i don't know why but i told him i'll leave it . my thoughts are every dog has its day and there are several ways to skin a cat.

 i wonder what would happen if next week i crept up to him  in asda and gave him a right hander. he got away with it

thanks chaps

you are right..... dominic...hindsight and all

[[GQC] Tim]

Official caution,? GBH it is! Seriously, take this as far as you can!! Somebody threw something at me through the window some time ago, sadly the police couldn't find them as they were travellers. They said it's GBH, and somebody attacking you definitely is.

[sandy]

What about the doe he ows you

[Joseph Michael]

Maybe it would be an idea to ring or write to the guy asking for the money owed to you and a written apology and then you will consider the matter closed.

[Xtremely Clean]

It isn't gbh unless they caused serious damage and even then there are 2 levels which are with intent or without intent, what it is is common assault. :-D

If it's on tape and the officer said so you could have him bang to rights surely? Might your not choosing to press charges be a way of levering your dosh from him? Careful you don't prejudice your case tho'.

In a previous life a director stole goods to the value of a few thousand pounds from a company and the other directors called the police. He was taken from his home and interviewed at the station.

A Detective Superintendent who was a wise old bird said to (the remaining directors) that it wasn't a high level crime (police wise) and if it was chosen to settle it civilly by letting it be known to the thieving director he wouldn't get his input money back (about equal to what could be proven he stole) or any salary in lieu of notice (saving a couple of grand) and got him to sign a "deed" in front of a notary solicitor signing over his shares then that might be a way of sorting it without continuing to involve the police.

Not that there could be any coercion mind!  

[G Griffin]

I always buy a french stick to protect myself with, in case anybody tries to attack me whilst shopping.
You can also eat the 'weapon' after.

[wightsurf]

you now have the police as a witness ,so go down the civil court route.
Take him (her) to court for loss of wages due to injurry and cost and money owed.
Sure this is possible

I still feel bad.
