Hi all

just have to share this mornings experince with you.

was looking after a freinds anitique/bric a brac shop this morning. and being the start of the tourist season hastings old town is packed. i was going to be there four hours or so, so i took down my new reed greens and insignia so the sewing would give me somthing to do. the shop was empty at this point, and in walks this chap who after a brose bimmbles up to the counter, to pay for a couple of bits. were he notice by breats eagle half sewn on. "what are you doing with that?" he aks, being abit perplexed "sewing" was all i answerd. "no i mean the german uniform. you not a reenactor are you" this is were it fell apart, they way he asked gave me the indication he might be a reencator too, all be it another period "ua ha" big mistake! for the next ten minutes this bloke littrally turned red and puffy through rage, he gave me a wondrefull history lesson, of the type "the evil empire" authour would be proude of.

and among some of the other point he raised.

apparently i'm too tall to authanticaly portray a ww2 soldier,

i glorify war aswell,

and (this was my favourte) "people like you get sexually aroused by shindlers list"

whenever i try'd to argu my point i was met with "just let me finnish" so in the end i just drowned him out by watching the femail students go by. for ten to fifteen minutes this bloke just rabbited on calling me every name under the sun. and then when he was all blown out, he noticed a small porcelin tea cup and sawcer marked for £1 "whats the best you can do on this ?" the cheeky B*stard asked. i took the iteam from him, placed it on the counter, pulled out a old wooden policemens truncheon and smashed the thing. "that ! know please bugger off " and of he went huffing and puffing.

is it me or are some people just complete and utter arse,s for know apperant reason.
and were the hell are PD or les hearn when you need em.

Sorry but me being me, it would have been a teeth job followed by a swift headbutt, going on about the nazi thing i would take, but getting personal without knowing me would do it

If this happens again to avoid uncomfortable moments deny reenactment and just sayh you are a raving Nazi waiting for the rise of the 4th Reich,

I find it stops people in their tracks, sadly every now and then someone will think you are serious

i was close at one stage mate, beleve me. but in the end, it was much more fun just to listen to the crap that came out of his mouth. and his face when the cup disintagrated, pure gold. told the shops owner this afternoon, "should have charged the t*%t for the cup" he went.

I gave up arguing with idiots like this, years ago. No matter what you say, they try to shout you down. They now get the same response that the feckin' Jehovas witnesses got from me this afternoon. A calm, but strong, "**** off !!" Works a treat with all manner of opinionated and self righteous cretins

i seem to attract, em mate. got cornerd four time last season by the "lets have ago a the german" types. when its jo public i just drown them out. what pisses me of though is when its other reenactors, two civil war guys had a pop last detling, but they did meet with a few choise words from my rich vocabulary swears.

Admit it, you're only doing it so that you get to wear a codpiece in public aren't you?
