ON Mothering Sunday, my seven-year-old son and I went to pay our respects and lay some flowers at Overdale Crematorium for my partner's mum who tragically died three years ago at the age of 46.
The entrance and exit to the cremotorium is clear marked by signs and, as it was Mothering Sunday, there was quite a number of people in cars doing the same as my son and I.
On the exit from the crematorium, going on to Chorley New Road, the traffic was building and had formed two lanes turning left and right. Whether this was right or wrong, I don't know.
But a man turned right into the exit part of the road and put his car nose to nose with the car in front of me.
He proceeded to get out of his car and verbally lash an elderly gentleman sitting in the driver's seat, telling him that we were stopping him getting to his home.
He showed no respect for the feelings of anybody in that queue of traffic or for the poor man he verbally abused. People's emotions would have been quite raw that day and he was nothing but a bully.
I'm sure the young son or grandson sitting in the passenger seat of his car would not have been proud of him. He refused to move his car so that the traffic could get out.
I hope some day, if he loses someone close, somebody else doesn't show the same lack of respect he showed to us.
