Just to wind this up. After a few missed calls the police finally caught up with MrsB today.
He stated that he had already told the gentlemen that MrsB post was legal and not offencive and nothing could or should be done. Apparently they continued to call the officer to the point he decided to visit them and view the facebook post himself. Again he didn't see any harm in the post (it just stated that she no longer worked for them and brief reasons and wished them well) but they still protested that she should remove it.
After looking at other peoples comments one man put a reply that he would "Smash their faces". The police officers said that this was more offensive and why this hadn't been reported yet a woman simply making it known she no longer worked for them was? After the passed week they continued to call asking the police for an update.
He was very apologetic and never asked her to remove the post. He asked if she knew the man making threats which she doesn't, its an open group any facebook members can join and post. He asked the reasons for leaving the company and she told him her safety concerns regarding their dangerous driving and that they would drink a bottle of vodka up to 4:30am and then drive after a few hours sleep at 9:30am, fighting and arguing and driving above the speed limit in temper. This grabbed his interest although said he did state it's after the fact and they cannot investigate.
He apologised again, reassured her that this incident wasn't even logged on the computers as he didn't even consider it being worth the time and paperwork. He'll contact the gentlemen in question and tell them nothing will pursued.
All good in the end. It's obvious that the police were involved as a scare tactic and that the main aim was to get MrsB to remove her post as it damages their business, mission unsuccessful. The constable did mention something along these lines and that he'd be keeping an eye on them. So, it looks like all they actually succeeded in doing it p*ssing off a copper.
I'd dearly love to be a fly on the wall when the police call and tell them no action is being taken. They are very "control freak" and the fact they didn't get their own way I can practically hear their heads exploding from here! They have an event tonight so it would be unfortunate if their emotions flowed over to spoil their performance.
Karma, she's a right beetch isn't she? (I'm still giggling)
Oh woe is me woe is me,
This is not what made it a bad day for me, this has been a bad month, and I have no one to blame only myself,
the seeds of this started about 2 or was it 3 years ago, with a small patch on the bedroom ceiling, in a heavy winters storm, the one that flooded Cockermouth, nothing too bad, maybe about the size of a saucer, a spray with stain block and a quick paint sorted it, only it didn't it re appeared about 6 months later, so up into the loft, and the generous use of some rubble bags sorted the problem, well for 12 months it sorted the problem, then it was back, so I promised the wife I would sort it properly, why do women keep reminding you to sort things every six months, I said I would sort it, I don't need no reminding, did I sort it in the summer when the sun is shining and it's lovely and warm outside, no I didn't I waited until October, before ordering all the materials, except this took longer than I expected, and the job of removing the roof replacing the felt and replacing with new tiles, morphed into replacing the felt flat roof at the back, with a rubber membrane,and the flat roof above the dining room, fitting upvc facia's and new guttering, how hard can it be, the answer is bloody hard.
Then when I removed the flat roof, I discovered that there had been some leakage, that had damaged the ply covering, so more repair, and of course this is the northern part of the Lake District, roofing is a young mans game.
Ran out of bourbon
You was lucky you only had coins thrown at you, some people seem to react badly to anybody trying to show them that what they are doing is wrong or even a danger. Did you get the registration number of the car he was driving?Gesticulated for a driver to put the phone down while driving (pet peeve). They turned the car around and proceeded to 'chase me' (I was a distance ahead of them, they put their foot down to catch up), flashing and beeping when they'd caught up. After I pulled over, they stopped in the middle of the road obstructing traffic, wound their window down and hurled abuse/ before getting out of their car and threatening me (they wished to 'have their gloves off' with me). They threw some coins at me/my car before getting back into their vehicle and speeding off.
Fun way to spend my lunch time.
I did indeed. Reported to the police as a non emergency. Even if it's a bit of a warning for him I'll be content.You was lucky you only had coins thrown at you, some people seem to react badly to anybody trying to show them that what they are doing is wrong or even a danger.

The police will probably find a number of other motoring offences had taken place ie no insurance ect, well done for trying to make him see the error of his ways before he killed someone.I did indeed. Reported to the police as a non emergency. Even if it's a bit of a warning for him I'll be content.
