My Uncle and two cousins are all builders and I've never heard of any of them harrasing passers by.

Would you be fine with your wife going to a supermarket and being harrased by a worker in the store? they're working class too.

Oh my god... I've just realised something.

- LT has been possessed by the malevolent spirit of Farage.
- I'm sure I haven't seen Kirk around for a day or two.

- ...Kirk is the malevolent spirit of Farage???

..I'm wondering what 'her sort' is..someone who likes to feel pretty/feel good about herself and have confidence when she walks down the street, wouldn't everyone like that, male or female..but that's not 'her sort' expecting someone getting in her face or shouting comments from their car...if that was the case then she would have engaged in conversations and flirtations in the month that they were doing it, which she didn't...


...hmm, these things are always interesting though because if it's a perceived attractive female then it's often...well what does she expect, t'is men just being men as opposed to disrespectful idiots being disrespectful idiots and really she needs to look at herself/her confidence/and what she's wearing etc...and if it's a female that's not perceived as so physically attractive, it's often, well goddamn she should think herself lucky to get comments in her face....the females lose and the females lose/zero points to the females..but no, it's not a gender thing though, it's an idiot thing and a disrespect thing ...

user104658 29-04-2015 06:46 AM

The whole "they should take it as a compliment" thing is definitely not a gender thing, not these days anyway. I actually had to have words with a trainee staff member recently (which is unusual, I have a very laid back management style hactually :joker: ) for basically constantly perving at a young male customer's legs when he comes in in football shorts. Making loud comments and what can only be described as "purring" at the poor lad. He was laughing and smiling but to me, he also looked seriously uncomfortable... He's just a kid really, 19 I think, and he was getting obviously increasingly embarrassed.

Theres nothing wrong with flirting but people need to get much, much better at reading body language and stop when someone is clearly not happy about it.

be street smart

Why should she have to walk a completely different route, even crossing the street wouldn't really help, she would still have to listen to them, I do think dialling 999 was an over reaction though

....hmmm, I bet you were having little sneaky peeks at those fine legs yourself, TS...but yes, people will notice and look at things they find attractive in people they see on the street/in their place of work etc but it's when it's advanced to making inappropriate comments/feeling it's ok to make those comments and making someone feel uncomfortable and awkward ....

Yep it can happen from both sides, we should try to keep gender out of it really because all men or all builders (as in this case) aren't all like that, I'd like to think most men have more respect and wouldn't intimidate someone like that

Kirk was away for a few days making lots of lovely money. I have just SOLD OUT all the seats on 5 x 46 seater buses to take members of 'THE GRIMSBY SOCIETY OF UGLY NEGLECTED FISHWIVES' from Grimsby to Worcester and they have paid another £100 each for my 'Tour Guide' to lead them back and forwards past the construction site where Poppy Smart was accosted.

Wolf-whistling builder accused of sexual harassment boasts it has helped him 'snog so many women' and brands his target 'a silly little girl' (but admits he DOES have a girlfriend)


A builder who wolf-whistled a young woman only to be accused of sexual harassment said today she is a 'silly little girl' who was 'lucky' to have received the attention.
Ian Merrett, 28, is astonished that Poppy Smart, 23, did not take it as a compliment, which he says has helped him 'snog loads of girls' in the past.
The builder and his colleagues whistled at her every day for a month as she passed their Worcester construction site.
Miss Smart, who compared the wolf-whistling to racial discrimination, eventually filmed them and asked West Mercia Police to investigate alleged sexual harassment.
Mr Merrett admits it was probably him whistling but called Miss Smart a 'silly little girl' who should never have gone to the police.
He said: 'I'm sure if she walks past again and she is lucky she will get wolf-whistled again. I have wolf-whistled so many girls and got so many birds and snogged so many girls off the back of that, and never had a complaint before. But I've got a girlfriend so need to be careful what I say'.
