I READ Karen Stephen's article (February 19) and thought, what a shame, those nasty pensioners upsetting her like that, all she wanted was a bottle of water and a sandwich.

Personally she sounds like she should still be on her bottle of "Cow and Gate" and rusks.

Maybe if she had a word with the manager of Marks and Spencer, he'd close the shop at lunchtime for her convenience. Who knows, he may throw in the red carpet.
