I personally have been involved in situations were I have stepped up to intervene in something I find to be wrong. A sense of propriety & ingrained attitudes of right & wrong has overridden my sense of self preservation as many others of a certain generation, mindset & upbringing are also wont to do.

It is only afterwards when the adrenaline surge & the burst of what is fair & righteous has ebbed that we tend to think of possible consequences to our actions. The risks & dangers our civil courage at that moment may have exposed us to are laid bare & cold reality hits home, the possibility of hurt & hospitalization are very real. Still I personally would intervene again as I believe it is just part of my nature.

Foolish maybe, but a part of myself that I can't & won't be separated from as it is ultimately something that defines me.

Should that read,


I remember somebody else who carried a handbag, she was called Margaret.

What a cold hearted bitch she was for ordinary decent folk, but, history can't possibly be about to repeat itself, can it?

The guy now in charge hasn't got a hand bag.

(probably carries snooker balls in a sock).

Yes, she was foolhardy, but I might have done the same thing.....sometimes the adrenalin takes over....and really this being afraid to step in has helped lead to a society where everyone is happy to 'pass by on the other side'.

Good on the old girl......she had guts!
