Dear Sir,
On 15th October, students from Greenfield School were conducting a survey amongst shoppers in the town centre regarding their views on their shopping experience, amongst them was my 11 year old daughter.
The children were easily identifiable as school children due to their uniform, most people questioned were lovely, however, one elderly lady, described as between 60-70, was approached by my daughter who was with 3 class mates and asked if she’d mind answering 4 questions.
This ‘lady’, whom my daughter asked politely, turned and told her to f*** off!
This awful woman’s words were witnessed by 3 other gobsmacked children too. Had I been there I’d have reproached this woman about her attitude, especially given that my daughter was, and always has been, extremely polite.
In an age where the elderly complain about the lack of respect shown to them by children, this cuts both ways and shows shocking manners and attitude from someone of an age who should know better.
Respect is earned, not a given right and this woman should be ashamed of her potty mouth! My daughter was really upset, so I only hope this nasty woman gets her attitude paid back to her, there was no need, I’m disgusted!
From a very angry Dad
