Not sure about croydon facelift is but can guess Diana,as for "kappa slappa"there is a section of UK youth (and some elders,who should know better)who dress in kappa shell suits and burburry,both guys and girls,known as Chavs in England and Neds here in Scotland,usually seen on street corners slugging from bottles of cheap Cider,merely an annoyance and public nuisance more than anything.Quote:

Baby you did good. All situations are different, looking in the eyes and smiling is a bold move but can get your cute little behind in trouble too because you do not know how far the other party will take things. The smiling thing may work with in a controlled environment like work or the salon with a frequent offender etc but you do not know what the public will do. I do not like confrontations either and replay them in my mind as I am sure you have been doing.
This person who did the heckling is attracting much negativity to himself, he is in a dark place and odds are has problems he is dealing with. Perhaps you turned him on and he did not like, could not handle what he was feeling. As with most men, almost none of them are really "straight" . My point here is that the kid has to face his own problems, this situation, in the end has little to do with you.
You look nice. And none of this will stop you from expressing yourself.
Hi Dee,
I'm afraid it goes with the territory. They are playing on your weakness so if you don't show any they give up. I would have smiled and winked at the idiot, and if that didn't work blow him a kiss.
Don't let the buggers grind you down, there are only a very few of them,
Hugs and get back on the horse,
Hi Dee,
You smiled and that showed that you are stronger than them. and for that, I'm proud of you! You look like a pretty lady. Sometimes you'll find that you'll be picked on though you haven't been read. Those kind of predators pick on anyone weaker than them. They would never challenge if they thought they could lose. I know your frustration and I would like to kick the snot out of them too, but that would bring me to their level.
Think a Croydon Facelift is a ponytail pulled back so tight it basically gives you a facelift (I've heard it called Council Estate Facelift). Eg:

Dee, Im sorry I forgot most of your posting other than Boots! Have I ever told you I love them soo. Well I'm sorry to hear ya ran into a jerk, but am impresses at the way you handled things. Continuing on shopping shows what you are made of. I have not been harrassed yet, but when I do (and I only pass as a CD, unlike you- a lovely lady)and I will I hope I show your fortitude and determination. Now about those boots!
Who knows, maybe a GG stood behind you had her confidence knocked because she thought the boy was shouting it at her! Or maybe he actually was!!!Quote:
