SIR: Much has been said, quite a lot by me, about noisy disrespectful children.
It has often been my misfortune to find myself on the same bus as a hoard of screaming, shouting, downright abusive school children, who obviously haven't been taught how to behave by either parents or teachers.
Recently, my wife and I boarded the 502 bus at the Royal Bolton Hospital. it was standing room only.
Although most of the passengers were school children, there was no screaming and shouting.
Two young ladies immediately got up and gave us their seats. A rare occurrence these days. Every time an adult got on, some well mannered youngster gave up their seat. Not only were these young people well mannered, they were impeccably dressed in smart school uniforms.
They were all a credit to their parents, their teachers and to their school - St James's, Farnworth. Well done!
