    The shop staff were probably following a rehearsed protocol as demanded by the insurer.

      WHS.

      Plus the Sergeant at the local 'nick' will probably accuse her of being in on the robbery.

        Credit must go to the thieves too, who obviously had no wish to cause injury and did the honourable thing in beating a hasty retreat when faced with an old woman with a handbag. A rare honour amongst thieves?

          They deserve our thanks and I wish that they would come forward so that we may thank them personally.

            if you look carefully, you can see the lips of one robber
            he is saying
            'fck off mum, what are you doing here? this is my blag today'

              Also an honourable mention to the bloke who filmed it, for watching from a safe distance until Doris had downed one of them and beaten the rest off, before rushing in to share in the glory.

                Paddy Power was running a live book on the outcome.

                  It's a disgrace the police aren't keeping our streets safe from these dangerous old ladies.

                  I hope she's sent down for a long long time and the blaggers are duly compensated for post traumatic stress disorder due to being beaten up in public by an old lady.
