Although Linda wasn't quite aware of the situation until two couples started shouting. "He ran off and he'd tried to get my purse out of my backpack," she added. "I was shaken up. Lauren (Linda's daughter) and Lila (her granddaughter) were there so Lila was really upset.
"She said, 'Nanny's almost got mugged.' They then went home and told Mark (Linda's husband) and Louis (her son) and everyone. They then went running up the market to see if they could find the person. My nerves were gone because I was like 'Oh my god I hope they don't find them.' They never found him and I was ok luckily."
