Top Cats Hat Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 They're basic human emotions called anxiety and apprehension. Absolutely. But as ECCOnoob said, you need to look at yourself for the reasons that you see threats everywhere when it is not most people's experience.

But as ECCOnoob said, you need to look at yourself for the reasons that you see threats everywhere when it is not most people's experience. Agreed, and I do to an extent try to follow the rule of not creating problems until they are problems. Me and my mate had a rather nasty experience earlier in the year where we were approached by two Jamaican fellows outside the bankers draft who claimed to be promoting a new bar (though couldn't provide any details such as a name or location). They kept asking us questions about if we had certain memberships or apps, basically trying to get us to take out our phones and wallets, and kept surrounding us if we tried to shuffle off. Eventually we managed to get away when a bouncer appeared outside the door. Unfortunately when you have experiences like that, you become apprehensive and cautious.

altus Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Anyone notice the tiny sample? Just you and me by the look of it. 2000 people spread across how many locations? There are 69 cities in the UK - so that means an average of less than 30 per city. Not exactly enough to produce representative results. But then the article looks like it's a PR fluff piece for an upcoming TV series which, if their statistics are anything to go by, won't be worth watching.

niallzi Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Serious question. How did you know that they were from Jamaica? Because they said they were and that they were promoting a new bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cats Hat Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Because they said they were and that they were promoting a new bar. What? As in "Hi, we're from Jamaica and we're promoting a new bar?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niallzi Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 What? As in "Hi, we're from Jamaica and we're promoting a new bar?" Close! "We're promoting a new Jamaican bar" they had Caribbean accents so we put two and two together. Would you prefer it if I just changed this to "we were approached by two people?"

Top Cats Hat Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Would you prefer it if I just changed this to "we were approached by two people?" I'm not bothered either way. Just wondered what relevance it was to your story. I'm also interested in how two people can 'surround' two other people. I'm not denying that this happened, just that being confronted by two chancers with a dodgy line in patter would not be called a 'nasty experience' by most people. It's all part of being in a busy city centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Sheffield is the first place I have ever walked through an abandoned cemetary. Which one is that then? ---------- Post added 03-09-2018 at 17:41 ---------- They're basic human emotions called anxiety and apprehension. I mean we could all walk around in denial with happy faces and ignore the state of society at the moment So you'd feel like that in any city then?
