I AGREE with last week’s letter about the poor manners of some older people.

Some are downright rude and in fact I got ‘barged’ myself in a supermarket this week. Give an OAP a basket or a trolley and they can be lethal.

To balance the argument I have to say that manners in general have gone down the pan and we all need to brush up on a smile, a please, a thank you and an excuse me.
