Saw this yesterday and wondered what your opinion was.
Quote from letters in DT yesterday
Sometimes I despair of the society in which we live and how standards of behaviour have deteriorated - I do not envy the police, who have to deal with it.
Yesterday, it being a pleasant afternoon, I visited a small seaside town not far from where I live. After a pub-lunch, I took a wee stroll along the seafront and I saw a man and a woman, who had pitched a tent on the beach, having an almighty argument in front of a number of children. The screeching and shouting were almost unintelligible but as far as I could make out, the row seemed to be over what they were going to have for dinner.
Suddenly the woman smacked the man in the head, then it all kicked off and while they were giving it laldy, some concerned onlooker must have called the police. Just one policeman turned up on his own and tried to calm things down, but this only served to enrage the man further and he started shouting threats and became increasingly violent. Eventually the policeman was forced to draw his baton to defend himself but after a struggle, the man managed to snatch it from him and used it to attack both the hapless bobby and the woman.
Then amidst the confusion, from out of nowhere, a crocodile crept up and stole all their sausages.
