Dear runner,

I'm glad you weren't beat up.

david f: I'm glad you weren't beat up.

That should be, "You were lucky you weren't beat up."

Err... What happened to free speech? An' I'm sure your Mother-in-Law isn't that frail. Was she embarrassed or were you embarrassed for her?

Just saying. I don't like that sort of behaviour either but unfortunately that's what we get from some of todays youth. So sad. :-(

'I'm glad you weren't beat up.'

thankyou David f I was glad also although I would of gone done swinging and probably charged if the matter went any further.

Jayb,

'An' I'm sure your Mother-in-Law isn't that frail. Was she embarrassed or were you embarrassed for her?'

I'm not sure what your point is Jayb. My mother in law is in a wheel chair and is very frail. Personally and it appears others are in somewhat agreement (and it was of the vilest standard) this kind of behaviour should not be tolerated in the middle of the day in a 'family'restuarant. There were also several small children in the vicinity.

What would Charlie have done?

Je suis Charlie! I will march against runner's censorship!

This unchecked aggression will not stand.

I think runner hates our freedom. We should ban Christianity before it's too late.

Hi there RUNNER...

What a horrible experience for you my friend, particularly as it all unfolded in the hearing and presence of your aged mother in law, and other law abiding patrons ?

I agree with nearly everyone else here, inform the manager and then leave. Actually the manager (usually just a kid themselves) should have interceded well before you felt it necessary, so obviously the manager may have felt intimidated themselves, but such noisy and aggressive behaviour can be threatening nevertheless ?

You describe feelings, that the matter being 'unresolved' ? Even though you were the only person with the courage to speak to these fools. I believe the advice of both ONTHEBEACH and HASBEEN, is very good indeed ! As they both suggested, just let it go my friend........?

You can be assured these slugs generally 'mouth off' once too often, next thing they remember is peering down at their guts, watching as the 'claret' oozes out of a wound, around the blade of a knife seated deeply in their stomach, howling like babies ?

RUNNER, remember - what goes round, comes round !
