Bodily harm

I'm not usually one for posting warnings about scams but I had a near miss the other day. I walked into B&Q at lunchtime and some old guy, dressed in orange, asked me if I wanted decking.

Fortunately, I got the first punch in and that was the end of that. Those less suspecting might not be so lucky - be on your guard!

Christ, sounds like you had a narrow escape, that could have been nasty if he was tooled up. You did the right thing by smashing the psycho in the chops.

We urge readers to be on the look out for this violent maniac on future visits to the DIY warehouse and if someone comes up to you and asks if you want decking (who is honestly going to say yes?) give them a good swift kick in the nuts.
