Seems I’m Grandfather material
Today some little shit tried to mug me.
I was walking in our local parade of shops when a 20 something idiot waved a knife in my face and suggested | hand him my wallet.
First point, I don’t normally carry a wallet as such. Second point This idiot had no idea how to hold a knife.
So third point. I took it away from him and told him to bugger off.
That’s when I heard the words that made me realise I AM old enough to be a grandfather. A little boy, about 6 years old, said from behind me “Wow! my grandpa showed me that move, but I never thought it would work till I saw you do it!”
I asked him where his Grandpa learned that. He said “Grandpa was in the Paras. He knows these things”
All I could say was, “Yes, He would know.”
And yes. Now I’m beginning to feel old.

Well he chose the wrong Grandfather lol
The idiot or the little boy?
The idiot
Well done, the next person he chooses might not be so lucky.
It’s a shame you aren’t allowed to give him (a very hard painful lesson)
Way glad you are alright ,
👍 Hopefully he will think twice about robbing someone.
Definitely picked on the wrong one stupid boy
OMG Way, That must have been so scary, but you acted like a professional SAS man. If you got the shakes after that, it would be normal. Jeeez man. You’re a brave hero. I hope you reported to the police.
I was never a member of that gentle crew, Polly and as far as hero goes, not at all. Although as the saying goes “I had the honour to walk with a few”.
And yes, reported and knife handed over.
So glad you are okay!
