Thankfully Pat's not just a big guy, he has a bigger man attitude
ye Pat tells of many times when over the years he has suffered racial abuse, unfortunately this family by us (and there are alot of them) do it on a regular basis not just this time but have done with others....but they are ready to to call thier solicitor if its done back There a black guy behind us who Pat has known for years, he has had the same problem, so he wrote on the ball ''''if this comes over again I will pop it''' they kicked it straight back so he put a fork through it
I know deep down Pat finds these things hurtful....although he would never let on these people (as I said) have been bullies in the past with others, and join family togetherness....if you get my meaning. There is so many people round here that do not like them. Quite funny really when they discribe Birmingham a multi culture town that get on maybe someone needs to tell them that

A receptionist told me many years ago that when you get someone who is being unreasonable the best course of action is to remain as reasonable as possible. Eventually they will run out of arguments and steam.

I found that invaluable advice when dealing with some of the morons we had calling us re their Broadband...works a treat cause they do run out of steam.

Pat has obviously learned this lesson and it has prevented him from dropping down to the morons level. Well played that man!

I can't see why colour has been brought into it anyway - whats that got to do with kicking a ball over someones fence ? whats the bloke talking about if he isn't British ? idiot

Exactly but people bring colour into the argument when they know they're in the wrong and have no get out.

My ex husband is black so Oscar is mixed. He's been bullied at school for 18 months on and off and now he's receiving racist remarks from this same boy. So now, to prevent ANYONE having a go at Oscar, I'm allowed to take Zane with me to pick him up. Although I'm not going way into the school with the dog, everyone who comes out of school sees him. He's there purely as a deterrent as they don't realise he'd lick them to death and play with them (he loves kids).

Funny how since I've been doing it, Oscar hasn't been spat at, punched, kicked, slapped or pushed. He's been called a few choice names though which I'm taking up with the school now.

It's really difficult to know what to do when someone you love is on the receiving end of racism. At the end of the day, it's just ignorance and clearly people who commit these crimes (because that's what they are - race hate crimes) clearl haven't been brought up properly.

Thank you, Pat was born here yet this kind of thing sems to rear its ugly head every now and again, the receptionist is right too
Exactly, but what annoys me is that thier children were born here...........and they call white people ''whities don't think that is teaching those children manners, but when they get other kids calling them.............its straight to ''our solicitor'' threat

Laura i agree with what you are saying, but it can also happen the other way round as well, i have experienced that too.

I have just said to Stumpywop that is also happens to white people as well, can't see the relevence of colour in this case tbh
