That is kind of funny that you would think telling a panicing criminal that just grabbed a knife to fuck off would cause him to run from grannys house. I can picture it now. As the criminal is running for the door in a paniced fear from the raging granny with the foul mouth he yells, "mug ya later bitch". It would seem little old ladys are fair game in England, and I doubt criminals would just pick houses to rob were people that could defend themselves lived. Sorry granny, but in England your a prime target.
