So where did you get that hat?

When I asked why, I was told that the store had a no-hat policy regarding the local youths in the area.

It seems that other shoppers felt threatened and intimitated.

I pointed out that, whilst I was flattered at being grouped with the young ones of Lancing, I was in fact 72 years old and the only threat I posed was to my poor cat's tail as I stumble about my house.

On being threatened with the manager, I left and did my shopping safely at the Co-op.

What in the blue flaming blazes is going on?

One other thing, Somerfield haven't replied to my e-mail for an explanation
