I AGREE wholeheartedly with your correspondent pointing out that adults (including well-known personalities) should set a much better example of behaviour to the young people of today (Letters, November 7).

I am reminded by a remark from my great-great nephew of four when he was reminded not to sit on the arm of an easy chair and his answer was 'adults do'. What answer do you give to that observation?
