Sorry but have I missed something, are you expecting someone else to get up and slap down these two little girls. Or were there no men on the bus. You are not a fool for defending yourself, you are a fool for not. Very often you find that once they get a slapping down they will PTFD

 

I would have loved too but the law here is stupid I'd probably end up in jail and she would just get slap on the wrist

I understand your predicament Jazz. Chavs like that don't usually start throwing punches, it's more low-level than that such as name-calling, maybe throwing sweets, that kind of thing: stupid stuff really. It's designed to provoke a reaction, and if you or someone else were to respond with physical force, they'd suddenly turn all law-abiding and play the abuse/assault card on you.

 

How best to respond to low-level nuisance like I've mentioned above? Physical force is probably a no-no, tempting as it is, because I guess that would be assault. If they're throwing sweets etc maybe throw them back, hard. Nothing you say to them would make any difference, not at that age. Gone are the days when people were fearful of being dragged to the local constabulary by the ear.

 

Where's the Peckham Terminator when you need him? He rides on buses, and if my dubious sources are to be believed, he was defending himself against some stupid name-calling when he "did it".
