The same has just happened again only this time I was walking up a hill while he came down hurtling very quickly towards me at speed and knocked me down and almost smashing the camera in the process.
Also I have just been threatened by three chavs saying they are going to ****ING SMACK US. Not the first time I've this either.
So I retract all statements about Darlington being great, it isn't, I am sick of being threatened by people here so now I am now in the position once again where I am thinking I just don't want to do this anymore I am getting nothing but grief at the moment and I am starting to feel that is not worth the time and stress anymore.
It's pointless giving up on what you're doing, all because of a couple of idiots. I've never had any bother in Darlington, but I've not really strayed away from the centre.
As I do when I'm anywhere. I keep my wits about me and put my camera away if sense any bother.

They can count themselves lucky. I remember being on the bus in Washington, and you'd usually get an ambush of waterbombs as it passed through a bus link!
