Grandmother Loses It in Violent YouTube Smackdown
It's obviously stereotyping, but the British have definitely earned a reputation for being prim, proper, polite, and reserved. An English video (after the break) currently blowing up on YouTube captures a volatile disagreement between a 63-year-old grandmother and a 37-year-old man, but you might be surprised which participant actually adheres to those ingrained social stereotypes.Enraged that her neighbor continually moved his "wheely-bin" (which definitely sounds better than "dumpster") through a common driveway, Valerie Dunningham vehemently accosted Luke Warr. Admitting that she "lost her rag," Dunningham cornered Warr before pummeling him with a newspaper. She even rears back and attempts to kick the remarkably restrained Warr right in the bum.
According to the Telegraph, the admirable Warr asserted that he had a legal right to use the driveway, but he declined to press charges so the police issued the saucy sexagenarian a caution. Check out the video for the uncut and profane attack, but this version, hilariously set to the theme song from the king of British comedy, Benny Hill, also comes highly recommended.

Makes me proud to be British...
We built an empire on attitudes like that. Which one? Take your pick.
Fat lot of good it did us...

this makes me laugh, she has a pretty sparky attitude for her age.

If he would have retailiated she would have lost her "sparky attitude" real fast.

Good Lordy darlin, how's a bloke to get his bin emptied?

She is lucky he chose not to press charges, crazy ol bitty! If I were him, I woulda gave her a good whack or at least a good shove! What I want to know is why didn't one of the guys just take away her damn newspaper?? If this had been the other way around a old man hitting a younger woman like that I know for a fact HE would have been arrested, but it's ok for women to hit men! Good for me, bad for men I guess!

The guy and his friend with the camera did this exactly right. Don't instigate, just let her be the aggressor and roll tape. And while I probably would have filed charges (just to make her life more miserable) in the long run, this being on YouTube and seen by millions for years to come in the long run is probably better revenge.

shame on her.!!! .. really a shame...under any conditions that was un called for and an all out assult..she should be sitting in a jail having to think of her actions... must not be a "mum" or that wouldnt even have been concievable..the guy was very respectable and restrained i dont know that i wouldnt have smacked her back and kicking might have taken me over the edge....what ever reason that made her do that i hope seeing this video or report makes her ashamed and never to do it again...ever ..

She should be arrested, its just not the way you handle disputes. If we are to allow her to do that then we should allow him to retaliate. Do we really want things to degenerate into that?
