Came out of the sports bar into the car park and a couple 30-40 year old guys who were walking down the street start following me.

They shouted over at me, I ignored them. They tried to make conversation, I had a feeling there was a catch. They then caught up to me and told me to give them my wallet etc. Knew it.

I obviously said I’m alright and kept walking to my car, knowing if I show nerves or stand still I’m in trouble.

They continued to follow me and started making threats saying ‘don’t think you’re going to get away from us cos you ain’t’. At this point I cut back round towards the bar and CCTV before they ran off.

If they had managed to corner me I believe they would 100% have tried to take everything I had on me. Looking back at the footage one of them tried to get round in front of me to cut me off.

Police have been notified but I have absolutely **** all faith in them to do anything even with this all on CCTV.

As expected dropped as the suspects cannot be identified.

I've had similar coming out of the Luton Casino after entering a big poker competition about 22 years ago. Luckily my would be robber was on his own, and he got a surprise. It was 4am closing time, and 2 tea girls who were leaving work witnessed it. They backed up my story to the casino manager. After that, they hired a burly security guard to patrol the car park from 9pm. It's not nice being a robbery target.

On the plus side people got their shop for free!
Macdonalds yesterday the whole country out! I wanted a coffee at 6 am and couldn't get one! I had 2 pound cash but once computers go down we're doomed!
Bring back the clunky tills and common sense.

I once worked in Retail Banking Tech Support, occasionally when the bank branch server went TU we had to ring the staff and tell them to go to "manual procedures" - cue a long drawn out silence at the end of the phone followed by the words "how do we do that or what's that?!? "
 
Took a mate who suffers from MS and is in a wheelchair to the Ice Hockey at Chelmsford Riverside last night.

During a break he needed to use the toilet. The disabled toilet on the first floor had a queue so we took the lift to the ground floor and followed the signs to the nearest accessible toilet which happened to be in the changing rooms for the pool.

As we entered the changing rooms a woman waring a swimming club polo shirt approached us and told us this was a private hire for the swimming club and we couldn't used the facilities.

I didn't argue too much because my mate was in a bit of a hurry and we eventually found another accessible toilet/changing facility. The ladies waiting to change babies immediately offered to let my mate jump the queue without being asked.

I'll be back at the Riverside soon and will give swimming coach woman a piece of my mind. I mentioned her behaviour at reception and they will also be having a word.
 
Looks like Next (complete with Costa) will be moving into the old Oak Furniture land store at the Airport retail Park. Mrs RHB can't wait, I can!
 
So the council arrange for contractors to clear out the top 5 floors of the Civic Centre. So that's what they did. The councillors unbelievably did not take out all the important stuff for safe keeping. So important documents and files have gone, some dating back to 1947. Some keys. 60 secret cameras disguised as rocks(To catch fly tippers). And lots of other stuff.
Councillor Aylen said 'There was an enormous amount of stuff. It was a totally bad decision.''
I always thought these highly paid people were meant to be very intelligent, obviously not.
Even an eight year old would come to the conclusion that important stuff has to be removed first before a place is cleared out.
 
HMRC again. Four months after i paid them by bank transfer it is still showing up as owed on my account. To top it all then get the annual notification of code for new year etc which also says I'm still in debt to them and will be taxed accordingly.
Two 45 minute calls later I'm told it will be passed over to another team to investigate and advise.
Wasn't rude to the person on the other end as their just following processes no doubt written by some vastly over paid civil servants.
Absolutely joke and **** show 😡
