Hello,

On a very gentle amble to a pub in the cotswolds this evening, a young man around 14, asked my 71 Yr old mother her opinion on 'beating the meat'.

Myself, having heard my mother's reply of 'I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean' (she certainly did, the wily old fox) but nothing else, turned to him and asked him to repeat. He then, very smoothly, asked what my opinion was on Man United. Shamefully, I told him (I don't wish to repeat). On asking him who he supported he tapped his man u bottle and ran away.

AIBU to spread this encounter far and wide to alert the church elders?

What an unsavoury comment from the young man. I hope he learns a lesson soon that it's absolutely not acceptable

Thank you. I made this post humerous but was rather shocked!! Parents of Prestbury don you know this young man wearing a man u t shirt?

Have you been smoking something you shouldn’t have been smoking? 🤣
