Thanks Steve,Steve wrote: ↑Sun Sep 10, 23 6:42 pm An all round awful situation to have to deal with Matt. Reasonable force is very subjective. Its all about your honest perception of threat level at the time and it sounds like you did just enough to deal with the situation and no more than necessary.....perfect. Drunk people are notoriously difficult to deal with as they tend to do stupid things that they wouldnt dream of doing when sober.
Glad you are feeling better and good luck with all your future plans, whatever they may be. Maybe we will bump into each other as you have decided to move to Scotland and buy a C body!
Yes at the time I was trying to do just enough to keep him back and I thought he was all mouth although I was half expecting a clout but he had already had the opportunity to seriously assault me due to me letting my guard down so I was hoping that if he was going to assault my he would have done so already!
He did technically assault me but I knew he was provoking me and I wasn't falling for that so I just pushed him away. Each time I pushed him back it was with more force but not much really and then my two neighbours stepped in and kept him back.
Anyway thank you so much for the support Steve
As for Scotland it's on our list of possibilities but Dorset is more likely as it's closer to friends and family.
My son Adam was going to move to Ullapool but unfortunately he broke up with his girlfriend otherwise he'd be there now!
Now I like the C body's but I think they're a bit on the large side for me so I would probably go for another B body like a satellite or Road Runner!
