To be honest, I'd never dream of grabbing anyone and shoving rubbish inside their clothing. It seems a very arrogant move to make.

A bit more diplomacy would have had a better ending I think.

It is a fact of life I'm afraid now that there are an awfull lot of people who pushed hard enough will use some sort of agressive action.She was taking a big risk what she did,no doubt her intentions were well intended. Of course we don't like to see people just flout the law and dump litter or rubbish and should be fined or punished.Trouble is and as I have said the likey outcome is a knife in your ribs and do it without any trouble. I have camped there several times and got to know Margaret reasanbly well.It was unusal for her not to have said anything as she does have 7 burly lads in the family.

Margaret should have asked all parties concerned to leave the site - I wont camp there again after this, I like a peaceful weekend away - not aggro!

However, there's always the risk that if there is trouble, the alleged - or witnessed -perpetrators are being permitted to stay on the site, thereby encouraging this sort of anti-social behaviour.

Far better to go onto a site where you know that the perps are treated as they should be - NOT TOLERATED under any circumstances!

I certainly think she'd think twice before saying anything to anybody again!  The police may have been called, I can't say for sure that they weren't.

As far as calling them myself, I didn't have a mobile and not knowing the area didn't know where the nearest phone box was.  The weekends away caravanning are definetely mobile, laptop and work free!  You get to a point where you assume that somebody else involved (i.e. either of the parties) will involve the police or as you say the campsite owner, Margaret.

I know I get angry when I see people throwing litter out of cars - there is nothing worse and it probably gets me more worked up than when I see somebody speeding...but I definetely think that handing him his rubbish back or simply making him very aware that you're picking his rubbish up and throwing it away on his behalf (i.e. making it very clear to everybody around that he has dropped rubbish so as to embarrass him and hopefully stop him doing it in the future).  It seems to be a better way to go rather than the confrontational putting it down his shirt.

Still, it's an odd world where we "accept" this kind of behaviour and do very little to rule it out.  This guy will eventually be somebody's dad and it makes me cringe to think what those kids will turn out like!

Scary world for sure...well it hasn't put us off caravanning as we have found a great little spot in Derbyshire that was very peaceful!  Woke up yesterday to the sound of sheep and birds and nothing else!

I think that everybody accepted that it was silly putting the litter down the lads shirt, but I don't think any approach would have achieved a positive response.  The lad and his mother are obviously cowardly scum.  I don't think much of the sites attitude allowing them to stay there after the attack.
