A petulant young woman, she stunned a photographer not long ago by spitting out four-letter vulgarities precisely timed to the clicks of his motorized camera. She alienated some of her Gloucestershire neighbors by sacking a milkman who refused to deliver milk for her six-month-old son more than three times a week.
