Health and Safety Concerns ?

[chinchyesek]

I suppose in cases of severe overcrowding, the bus driver has a discretion
NOT to allow carriage but if folded up, packaged or properly wrapped up, it resembles
no more than a (largish) item of purchased merchandise which can be carried
as of right of course.

Can severe overcrowding be used to prevent a mum with young child
in a push-chair from boarding the bus? I doubt it.

Stand by what I say, shall be pleased, however, to be corrected
if otherwise, on quoted authority.

The flimsy health and safety considerations can always be thrown
at you as a last resort if the other side insists on having its way.

This has been invoked in respect of a court consent order which
anyone knows lasts unconditionally w/out limit of time.

This has been invoked by an arbitrary local authority
which decision wd to be challenged in a court of law in a case
I personally know.

Rather high-handed this ill-educated (what else?) black security guy, the fact that store manager interceded in my favour does not excuse the very unpleasant experience I had.... have to make clear to those at top which I doubt my email gets passed to, how I really felt.

I am tickled that you mention the race/colour of the security guy. Not surprised, just tickled.

Your own grammar and syntax, meanwhile, do not buy you a ticket on the 'Calling-Someone-Ill-Educated' Bus.

I think it sweet that you feel the need to make mention of race and perceived level of education.

This whole thread has Naughty Troll written all over it.

:troll:

 

[chinchyesek]

Far from it being a troll, the fact that someone is of a certain
colour of skin AND being ill-educated evidenced by words
and expressions used - cd hardly string two sentences properly together
for example - are incontrovertible statements of fact as opposed to opinion
to which nothing else shd be read into.

Good to double/check meaning of word 'troll' from a good
dictionary such as Oxford Online before needlessly using
it.

One naturally writes in a way one's comfortable with- to get the message
effectively across - provided it is not abusive or in breach of the law
or conventions of the land or for that matter, in bad taste.

Yes, the next time I were unlawfully detained anywhere w/out just cause,
I shall SUE that I've made clear in this case to senior management at HG
in an email I have further sent.

Remember I'm the wronged party, other side is the wrongdoer and there's legal
saying btw: where there is a wrong, there is a remedy.

 

[chinchyesek]

Saying a person is black is OK but NOT term coloured let alone
n_ _ _ _ _or for that matter term Asiatics referring to oriental
people or other peoples of the Indian/Asian continent.

This paragraph is in urgent need of a visit from the grammar and punctureation fairies to hide the evidence of the poster's ill-education.

What on earth does the security guard's skin colour have to do with anything?

Can't you get the spelling right?

 

[chinchyesek]

It is a fact that I state merely as a matter of record (just like in a hit and run RTA case victim can
expect to be asked 'Can you give a description of the driver?' quite apart from whether
knowing licence plate number of offending vehicle, of course.

I take it you have not heard of the puncture fairy then.

My read on Vernon's post was that it was deliberate confusion of the puncture and punctuation fairies as an attempt to inject some humour into an otherwise tedious thread about a storm in a teacup.

Yes, well, this isn't a witness statement, and you didn't feel it necessary to describe the person's age, height or other distinguishing features, so I really want to know why you thought that detail was in any way relevant to how he treated you?

I don't think there's any need to get personal or degenerate into microscopic analysis of the thread - it won't lead to anywhere good.

Let's stick to giving advice, and once given, let the OP decide what they want to do with it.

Thanks,
Shaun

I say black 'cos a non-black security person in a past store experience wd and did
NOT handle the situation in the way that he did that the store manager who
was summonsed to intervene was to do so: in my favour and quite rightly too.

The right and proper thing if there's an issue as to anything is to call the
store or customer services manager and not for some lowly security guard
take upon himself to DETAIN me, a customer, quite unlawfully that gives rise to an
action at law, it has to be said in case you're unfamiliar with tortious remedies.

 

[benb]

He didn't detain you though, unless you left something out of your OP.

Nope.. have never heard of the puncture fairy thing and not adverse to there being a
lighter touch to things said here but for the sake of certainty and for avoidance of
doubt, wd appreciate things said that are accurate, comprenhensible devoid of any
ambiguities and certainly no jargon. OK folks?

 

[chinchyesek]

He DID detain me by preventing me continue with my shopping by blocking
my shopping trolley and proceeding thereafter to the checkout for payment.
It's at this juncture that I insisted that store manager be called.
