SURPRISINGLY, I have not seen a reply to Heather Causnett's recent, unbelievable letter in the Evening Press about a man who "exposed himself". So, I shall.
I must say how sure I feel that the woman to whom this man put his "meat and two veg" (to plagiarise a Chris Titley column) on such public display was not, as Mrs Causnett suggests, being "over-sensitive".
Anti-social behaviour should be reported and stopped for obvious reasons.
Incidentally, this happened to my late, formidable mother as she walked down a quiet lane.
She was carrying her long, rolled-up umbrella at the time. She gave the order to keep this particular portion of the anatomy well under wraps in future, thus (if you will excuse the expression) nipping it in the bud.
It's as well that, in those distant days, she had not heard of the Mike Bentley "swordstick".
