I've been bottled and verbally abused myself. One of the comments was 'look at that big dick!' In truth, though, this was accurate description rather than verbal abuse.
Seriously, if anyone is targetted by bottles and/or verbally threatened then it should be reported to the police. Unfortunately, I think Pex comes under Prescot rather than Widnes police station. I have the number but doea anyone know what would happen if I publicise it on here. Would they kick off?
