How asking for '˜Angela' might keep you safe at these Portsmouth bars and restaurants
Around 40 bars and clubs will operate the scheme called Ask Angela, which will see staff trained to give assistance to anyone who asks for Angela at the bar.
It was started in Lincolnshire County Council and is designed to help people separated on a night out who end up with someone they don't want to be with, or if they are on an uncomfortable date.
