I agree with marco,my safety and that of my crewmate are always paramount in my mind the time honoured phrase"Fuck Off" would have been enough for me to have withdrawn and called the old bill(my service has a very good working relationship with our old bill) and i wouldn`t have given a toss if he had a 6ft geyser of blood spewing forth from his head and if you think i`m a tosser then you havn`t been assaulted by a 70yr old man (out celebrating his grandsons coming of age birthday and fell on the way home )passer by rang 999 i arrive enquire about his health he takes an instant dislike to me cos "you is whitey" but hey what can a 70yr old drunk man on the floor do to me ???....how wrong could i be!!! i bends over "let me have a look old fella make sure your ok" my collegeague moves i look to see at what just then i`m seeing stars from a blow to the back of the head....lucky me it could have been my jaw which most certainly would have been broken....that was many moons ago and since then that time honoured phrase has been enough for me to walk away still intact
