Yes, the police are doing this deliberately. Nothing amuses them more than causing traffic chaos - it spices up their boring lives. (For those who take comments like this literally - and there are some - I am being sarcastic.) Also the Chinese solution is not an option, I believe.

QUOTE (dannyboy @ Oct 1 2010, 12:15 PM) How do you bring a swift end to someone threatening to jump off a bridge? Push them? Exactly, push em off. If they want to die, let them die!!

Well, it is sad if someone gets to the point where they want to end it all but they should either get on and do it or if they change their mind, leave the scene. Holding up thousands of people and causing havoc is just plain selfish. Why can't they do it quietly?

QUOTE (Iommi @ Oct 1 2010, 01:04 PM) The list grows, Bill1! Some of the responses on here have saddened me greatly. If we stop for one second to think how desperate that person must be feeling, perhaps the cries of "selfish so-and-so" would be reversed. Surely that person, stood on a bridge, considering leaving whatever their life has brought them, is not able to think straight enough to be considered selfish. Few people would begrudge someone that ill, a couple of hours disruption which they will have no idea they'll have created? Poor, poor person, they deserve pity & understanding, not shouts of "get on with it, you're in my way!" Call me soft if you like, but I was in Sainsbury's (not Newbury) on Wednesday, & the sweet lady on the til had been saddened by something the previous customer had said (I think she'd been offered condollences). She carried on serving me, tears rolling down her cheeks, but smilling all the while. I silently passed her a tissue & a smile, paid & left, hearing a quiet "Thankyou" as I left. Perhaps some people here think I should have told her to pull herself together & hurry up before my frozen peas defrosted? Don't answer that.

QUOTE (Brad @ Oct 1 2010, 01:38 PM) A tissue, you offered a tissue.. Where was the hug? I'd have squished that old lady up in a loving hug, pinched her cheek whilst saying how adorable she was, patted her on the head and off id plod. I do hope it was a used tissue You're quite new on here aren't you? We welcome people aboard but then hope they are the decent sort i.e. know when to have a laugh and when not. One of my best friends had to cope with the suicide of his only brother and a cousin of mine was shot by a lad who then took his own life, so I know all about the tragedy of suicide and I doubt I'm the only one on here who does, so please think before you post. This goes for others who have been less than sympathetic on here too. Thank you.
