"Sorry, although I think it's you who should apologise, madam."
"Why?"
"I think you're drunk."
"I think you're overreacting," the lady said. Then she added, "What do you know anyway?"
"I think you're an elderly lady who's forgotten her manners."

"I think you should be quiet now," he said.
"You're not the male authority figure here. Learn your place."
That did it. He arrested her for breach of the peace and she spent the night in custody. She was fined fifty pounds and warned to behave in future.
