FULL backing to the Godmanchester Co-op for refusing to sell four cans of lager to Ms Morris (The Hunts Post, December 9). This shows a responsible attitude by the Co-op.

The Association of Chief Police Officers warned earlier this year that 50 per cent of young drinkers were getting alcohol from their parents.
