I WAS recently exiting the Asda store at Castlepoint and, on reaching the outdoors, realised my 10-year-old daughter had been stopped by a person marketing for a paint-balling company.

When she joined us she said that the lady asked her to get mummy or daddy. I asked my daughter what they had been discussing and she said she was asked how much she got for her birthday? How many friends could she invite? etc.

How dare they approach a 10-year-old girl with such intrusive questions?
