Some people are the scum of the Earth

Post Reply New Topic

…my mum packed some sandwiches, a bit of fruit and some crisps. Just a little snack for herself, more or less, as I can't eat that sort of thing any more.

We went to the baggage scanner and my mum put her orange Sainsbury's (a large supermarket chain here in the UK) through the baggage scanner. When they came out the other side, it was missing. She told the baggage scanner assistant, who then went to have a look around the area. He came back and told us that he had found nothing.

My mum went for a little walk to the nearby Wetherspoon's only to find a dirty, fat, black-fingered older middle aged couple merrily looking through my mum's bag. Exactly the sort of Scouse wasters that end up on The Jeremy Kyle Show with alarming regularity. Minor criminals, in other words.

My mum goes up to them and says something like:

M: "Excuse me, but I think you have my bag."
C: "I think you're mistaken there, love."
M: "No, you really do have my bag - those are my sandwiches that I packed this morning. Can I see what's on them?"
C: "It's nowt to do with you."
M: "No, I'll TELL you what's on them - there's a packet of cheese and onion Walker's crisps, a cheese and tomato sandwich and an orange."
C: "No it's not; they're OURS."
M: "Right, I'm off to see airport security."

…who refuse to do anything. If they'd stolen a sandwich from one of the airport shops (which are highly-priced, BTW, which make bringing sandwiches in worthwhile - why pay £3.50-£4 for a sandwich - the airport security would have them arrested. But because they're thieving off another traveller going to the same destination, that's OK. Nothing wrong with that.

The airport security people turn up and they brazen this out, accusing my mum of having some sort of mental illness. As they leave, they do the circular motion with their hand (to suggest that she's mentally unwell).

They leave - and they reappear again on the flight back to the UK!

a***holes. The detritus of British society. Mum actually said that they could have stolen her handbag instead.

My mum has NEVER had anything quite like this during her life and she was a British police officer for many years.

Disgusting turds like that can and will get away with doing that to most people - but it only takes one person who is genuinely unstable and won't care about the consequences and they'll get the living f**k kicked out of them. It's a very forlorn hope, but I hope someone eventually decides they've had enough and gives those two a taste of their own medicine.

look mate to what to talk me about or take the piss of the people out of the home town?
If It venting about us Scouser's then general I'll leave you too, anyway the behaviour of the couple was way out of f*****g order!!

I mentioned the fact that they were Scouse once. It's not as though I was saying that they were scum because they were Scouse.

I actually want to visit Liverpool in the near future - I've never been, and apparently it's a lovely city.

If I said that they were from Preston or Manchester I would have said the same thing. Especially if they were chav scum from some dead beat estate in Scumchester (note: I don't believe all people are like that but then again, I'd understand people from outside my area criticising those people from inside it too)

It is Liverpool Airport, not Manchester. I've had bad experiences at both with scumbag passengers.

Right John Lennon, the old airport building and Speak Hall close to the airport ideal for some photos.
Anyway local Taxis company are pissed off with the airport over parking plus two quid for the security.

Both that couple and staff in the airport are bang out of f*****g order with there behaviour.
Has you mum got the name of the staff involved if so its a good start for a compliant letter.

Also talk your mum into contacting Roger Phillips, phone or email into his weekday 12-2pm phone in show on
BBC Radio Merseyside, John Lennon airport will go f*****g mental if your mum is telling that story live on radio.

Are you on the wind-up? 'Cos if you're not, I'll tell her.

wind-up about what?

About phoning in. I didn't realise that there were that many problems associated with that airport, or that the local wireless would be that interested. She's written to Speke Airport to complain. I told her that it may not go anywhere. You've changed my mind though - thanks.

Oh, and we had to wait 25 minutes in the cold just to get to passport control coming back.

No joke listen to his today's show on-line via iplayer, she will have to phone on monday now best phoning about from 11 am ist to try to on air, if she can't then email him or look on Radio Mersyside website for the A Team, I have don idea if there still going. Both Roger & the A Team are scouse arse kicker when it comes to complaints.

The phone numbers & email addresses will be on there web site

Good thing I fly out of Manchester, it seems...

Scum of the earth are rampant round these parts.

I dispize ass holes who do that! "scum" is hardly a fitting word for such loosers! If I were there with you, I'd have slapped them in their piggy faces for you! What a load of CRAP!

No names, I'm afraid, cdfox7. Unfortunate, that. When she gets in I'll ask her for more information.

TenPencePiece: Manchester certainly isn't alien to people like that either - if anything, it can be worse depending on where you're flying to.

Well, perhaps I'm lucky not to have had any bad experiences at airports.

ok np mate listen to today's Roger Phillips show on the net to get a feel of the content & calls he deals with, plus with the BBC they might contact the airport's press office for a statement. If she can't get on air on Monday then email Roger & that give her a good chance on getting on air on Tuesday, the show gets a lot calls so it might be the case that she don't get on the air so keep at it!
