Here's what happened - it was a local fete near where I lived, and Anita Harris was there in some capacity, possibly opening it or whatever. There was a table at the jumble sale with toys on, and I'd picked one up and was about to ask my mum if she could buy me it. There was a photographer from the local paper there and Harris had chosen a child she was going to have her photo taken with. Anyway, Harris snatched the toy I was holding right out of my hand and went and bought it for this other kid for the photo opportunity as I stood there stunned (there were loads of other toys on the table she could have bought them, but she had instead grabbed the one off of me). I started crying, and then Harris snapped at me for crying and complained to the photographer that I was in the background of the shot, whereupon some helper or other yanked me out of the way.
I was anything but loud, spoiled or precocious - I was actually a very quiet, well behaved child who was sensitive to things that were unfair or wrong like that.

..actually that's mean. A one-off negative encounter isn't enough to assess, really. Bad me. He could be a thoroughly nice chap, for all I know.
