Some people don't like being burned and some people are best given a wide birth, I feel sorry for the geezer as it sounds like he has been inflicted with some bad and painful injuries, looks like he has upset someone who is shall we say well connected and not to be fucked with.

A customer of mine got properly bumped by him..

And if he'd displayed the attitude to me as he did to my customer something very similar would have happened.

Oh he did...

Taking peoples hard earned money and selling them shite and them refusing to refund or anything..

You reap what you sow in this life....

And he's just had a harvest

My customer was done out of a weeks wages... what he relied on was he was too far away for most people to bother to get in their cars.


Obviously he upset someone who was prepared to drive.

Yeah, I kinda got that impression.

Unlucky for him he suprisingly close to Mancland, Liverpoo, and Stoke, all just a 30odd mile journey to Sheepland to go smash is face/legs/arms in.

Dunno if this guy deserved what happened or didnt. No idea who he even is.

However..

There are a fair few people on this earth who deserve that and a whole lot more.

someone obviously thought he deserved it

but without knowing the full in's and out's, the pf jury is going to be either "he got what he deserved" or "thats bang out of order hope he's ok"

either way, he's going to be a long time recovering

Neil, I'm surprised at your rant. We don't know what happened, yet - Mark lives on a fairly isolated farm and could have just challenged thieves who were trying to do him over.

This is the same forum where somebody usually posts
"XYZ ripped me off"
and then all the usual keyboard warriors jump on the bandwagon shouting
"If it was me I woulda broke his legs"
Now it's happened and everyones complaining...

Must admit I agree with you there. All too often, someone does something trivial and there are 6 pages of bashings threatened, now it happens, the thread is full of remorse. Interesting.

Don't know the bloke so can't comment on the situation either way.

Sorry Simon but to take a weeks wages off someone for a worthless item and then basically laugh in their face....

How would you feel if someone did that to you ? and judging by this post its not an isolated incident.

Like I say... you reap what you sow.

the lads who told me he was in a bad way,are mates of his and know that i know him too.
don't know if it was just a targeted beating or something else.
but won't get involved in guessing or rumours as to why its happened
but he does break cosworths and other fast ford stuff
but is more into the classic ford stuff
they reckoned he needs constructive surgery to the head,so its clearly
not nice.

From the details in this thread I am afraid there is no way on your life this is a case of someone wanting to steal something off his farm.

To break someones arms legs ankles and smash their head in takes time and effort... you cant just stroll up and give someone a kicking to do that.



Get well soon as its not nice for anyone...

agree with shings, unless the guy comes rund and tells dibble what happened, no one is going to really honestly believe that he was hiding millions in treasure in his hayloft are they

but seeing as no one knows why he got a kicking and a half, it's clear that someone wanted to put the hurt on him, if not for ripping someone off maybe it was for soemthing else?
round here, they tend to break into your haouse and shoot you dead

Some of the comments on here have really surprised me, especially due to the fact that we don't actually know what happened. Like Simon says it could easilly have been thieves that Mark disturbed.

To say that someone deserved that is ridiculous. If it's true that someone was done out of a week's wages there are legal processes to go through. You can't just go around breaking people's bones!
At the end of the day it's just money, compared to someone's health it's nothing! And we are supposed to be a civilized society.....

Just hope that those people condoning that sort of thing never have it happen to them.

i will admit i had a bad dealing with him, i paid for a 'MINT' s1 dipstick only to receive a battered old s2 one, i sent it back and rang several times to chase up my money, only to never receive it, half the time
the phone was not answered, voice mails never returned,

in the end i cut my losses and gave up saying to myself not to deal with him again

Steve,

if someone fucks people about,which by the posts i think this is the case, then if he gets a beating then don't you think the people that did it have tried to get their money back, the beating must have been a last resort by the other person.

you don't know who you are messing with these days,just don't think you can do this to people and get away with it.

if he has fucked people about then he deserves it imo, maybe he will think twice about ripping some off.

Legal processes are bollox bruv and it don't gaurantee that you are gonna get your money back, I come from a big family and my Mother and Father had to work fucking hard for they had and now have, I'm not saying that we lived in rags but we didn't have a lot as kids and clothing/toys etc were handed down, My Mother worked for wealthy families and we would be given hand me downs from their children, football boots,clothes and toys etc, when this used to happen my brothers and sisters and I would think that Xmas had come early, we never had atari etc and my eldest sister wanted so badly to play and practice the clarinet but was unable to do so because my Mother could not afford the insurance should anything had happened to it.

So people that rip off and take the piss out of honest hard working people deserve a fucking hiding imo and reading through this thread that's the picture that I'm being painted

Yes Steve

My customer has exhausted all the legal processes and has resigned himself to the fact he's lost his money and has a worthless piece of metal.

Not everyone gives up that easily.


In a civilised society you would hope that people would behave in a decent manner and NOT rip people off.

Well.... judging by this post, he has no reputation to protect.

It takes years to build a good reputation and it takes a lot of work to maintain it.

The people on here arent lying to try and big themselves up they are just repeating their own experiences.

I can think of a few others on your side of the pond that could use a similar 'visit'

Two thieves named Mick and Paul come to mind
