SIR: With regards to 'Seeing Red over a word' and Fred Dibnah's use of some old English.
Does Graham Baxter ever go out or doesn't he know the outside world of today? Offending your readers by setting a low standard, that's a laugh. Let him get out among certain children, even coming out of school, or have reason to speak to a child vandaliser and hear the language they come out with.
My wife and I saw three very small children on a glass roof and managed to coax them down, to be given a mouthful of abuse, much, much stronger than pillock.
Enter today's world of strong language Graham Baxter. While by no means condoning the language of certain children, I would say to your correspondent: get out and about and listen - it will make your hair curl!
