He was probably hiding a massive stiffie at the thought of seeing a young girls' bare breasts. The guy is a bleeping predator IMHO.
It’s a shame because I love M&S, especially the food hall. But if they continue with this tit then I’m going to have to stop supporting them.
Females have spent history being called names, sworn at, beaten, grape and murdered for saying no.
It doesn't matter how bleeping politely they say it.
Girls should be taught that they don't have to kindly say no to unsolicited male attention. If the guy is wearing a frock makes no bleeping difference.

Yes, I’ve read more about it now and realise my initial impression was wrong.
I do just want to say though, I‘m not even slightly condoning men approaching women in that way or excusing it. Based on what I’d seen at that point, I genuinely thought it was as I said unfortunate rather than dodgy. Sorry if what I said sounded like I was being an apologist - not the case at all!
No problem.
I apologise if I was unfair to you - I just get a bit sick of people apparently making excuses for blokes who are (effectively) intimidating women and girls.
For those people on Reddit - there has been a 5-min excerpt posted for THM on Apple Audiobooks, it's the very first few pages of the book and some amazing people were kind enough to transcribe them.
I won't link directly as you can see some spoilers more or less immediately when you open the page (at least i did and i was
) so proceed at your own caution.
Reading that blurb hasn't cured my itch, I want the book even more now. 23 days to go!

Have read the excerpt, and it has totally stoked my excitement.
Not really a spoiler, but I’m going to spoiler it just in case:
As someone on Reddit pointed out, a potential Chekhov’s gun there, amongst the items listed that Strike took from Cornwall? 
I'm currently working my way through the Strike books for the first time. I just finished The Ink Black Heart and I loved it.
I think it's my favourite so far.
An added bonus to me was that I walked past/between the Ship & Shovell split pub that's mentioned in the book a couple of weeks ago.

Ooh you have enough time to do The Running Grave in time for release day!
I was very excited to recognise one of the pubs in IBH. I love the meticulous research she does for locations.
Imagine if you released an autobiography and went on many interviews bigging it and yourself up and then JK announced she was reviewing it and did and then posted it publicly online and it was this: https://www.jkrowling.com/opinions/the-twilight-of-nicola-sturgeon-j-k-rowling-reviews-frankly/
What would you do!? I’m thinking I would be going down a plastic surgery and emigration route.

The bit where she talks about Nicola wanting Scottish Independence vs Bella wanting loads of shags off her vampire fella took me out 
That was my favourite too - I reread it several times
I was so amused
Just over a fortnight to go till THM is in our grubby little paws!!
The Boris Johnson gag was my favourite part too 
JK’s humour is so underrated.

Yes! Some people have dream dinner party guests, but I wouldn’t want to have a dinner party with Jo - that’s too formal - I’d want to just sit around with a glass or three of wine putting the world to rights and having a laugh.
I cannot stop laughing at that JKR review of Sturgeon’s book. Absolutely brilliant.
Side note: my husband sat behind Sturgeon on a flight to Edinburgh once and said she was rude and abrupt to the attendants.

I’ve been listening to the Potter books on Audible since last year (I’ve been doing the Strike books as well!) and yesterday I got to this paragraph and died I love her jokes involving Ron swearing and/or interrupted sentences.
Googled it and found the passage
