A charity fundraiser was left in tears after the manager of a supermarket asked him to leave the store because of his St Trinian 's inspired outfit . Roger Cousin said he had dressed up in girl 's school uniform in order to get more attention and collect more money for charity Children with Cancer . But the 63-year-old said he was ordered to leave Morrisons in Barnsley , South Yorkshire , after just one customer complained about his 'inappropriate ' costume . Roger Cousins , from Penistone , South Yorkshire , was fundraising in a St Trinian 's costume at Morrisons in Barnsley when he claims the manager of the store told him to leave . Mr Cousins , from Penistone , South Yorkshire , said : ' I could not believe what was happening . 'It just a normal St Trinian 's outfit and the majority of people have had good laugh at it but one person complained saying they would go to the 'radio ' if I was still there when they had finished shopping . 'In the end I was told to leave and to change the outfit . I could feel the tears begin to roll down my face and just sat in my car feeling drained of all my confidence . ' The 63-year-old was dressed as a St Trinian 's pupil in a bid to collect for charity Children with Cancer ahead of his 12th London Marathon . Mr Cousins , who has been fundraising in the same store for over five years , has raised over £28,000 for a number of charities through his efforts in the marathon . Every year her wears a different outfit , which has included a naughty nurse and last year 's ballet dancer costume complete with a pink tutu . The incident was the first time he has ever had a complaint made against him and been asked to leave a store . Mr Cousins said : ' I have been fundraising for a different charity for over 12 years all over Barnsley and in many different stores . I have been given permission to collect in that same Morrisons branch by the same manger , who told me to leave , for around five years . 'Even while I have been collecting this week , the manager has seen and spoken to me . They know me very well there and so do the regular customers do as well . Even the people around me said do n't make him leave . ' I just wish the manager had stuck up for me and tried to explain to the customer how long I have been fundraising . ' In a statement regarding Mr Cousins , Morrisons said : 'We received a number of complaints from customers who felt the collector 's costume was in bad taste and therefore politely requested that he change it . 'However , Mr Cousins decided to leave the store rather than dress more appropriately . We would happily welcome him back in a different costume . ' Since the incident , Mr Cousins was feeling low on confidence and was tempted not to do any fundraising today . Morrisons said they had received a number of complaints from customers who felt the collector 's costume was 'in bad taste ' However , due to the level of support from his family and backing on social media , he was back collecting for Children with Cancer at the Barnsley branch of supermarket rivals Tesco . Mr Cousins , who only started his fundraising efforts this week , collected almost £500 at the Morrisons store and hopes to break the £30,000 mark this year . Children with Cancer UK is the leading national charity dedicated to the fight against childhood cancer .
