The 24-year-old received the hurtful tweets on a recent business trip.

"I checked my Twitter stream and saw these horrible comments. People can be really rude," she told the Diary.

Louise started working for a drinks distribution company 10 months ago. She had finished treating punters to complimentary drinks, when one of the girls posted: "Hate to have been fired from Hotpress. Now you're serving drinks, you commoner."

Louise said: "I was upset by it."

The Beatles started a revolution back in the USSR

If ever a band has been well served by the literary world it's The Beatles. Practically every aspect of that revolutionary body of work has been dealt with in book form... or so one would have thought. From Hunter Davies' The Beatles, through Philip Norman's Shout, Bob Spitz's humongously detailed history and Ian McDonald's brilliant Revolution in the Head, which offered a musical and contextual analysis of every song they ever recorded, surely there's nothing left of interest to diehard fans of the Fabs. Well, think again.
